I have been trying really hard to save up money so i could get some stuff done on my cressida but money is tight and not alot has been done to it but im hoping with in the next month or so to make a purchase so i can begin my adventure.

i just got some free wheels from a friend not the greatest but alot better then saw blades and cant beat the price of free. the off set sucks. i was thinking about getting some wheel spacers but i don't know if i trust them.

things i want to do is get some s9 coilovers, 2jzge for now im on a low budget swaybars because i just looked at the back one and said does it even do anything lol. better wheels, welded diff or a better diff. cage way down the road. 5speed is coming soon with in a month. ect ect ect.

now the color sandin begins.
looks pretty good ,but seem like u got some orange peel. overall decent for first time.
you did go basecoat clear coat?

[lowill1915]

yes i have orange peel i got most of it out but still needs alot more work.

just base clear i had to keep it cheap. but now that i see it i should have just went to maco for the $300 special im sure they would have done alot better then me. lol

the base was the easy part it getting the clear to go on right that i didn't like at all.

Maaco is hit and miss. Usually miss. Sometimes you can get a good paint job from them.

[lowill1915]

think it would have been better then i could do.

[lowill1915]
