Hey guys i've been away for a while and haven't been really active on the forum, but as some of you may know before i left my yellow needed a lot of love with the whole transmission thing and getting hit and all. Well i made some money on my "deployment" and decided to put it to use on the T5R by doing a major overhaul! We're talking major engine work, different transmission, suspension, audio, even did some body work to make her look perrrrty. Now i did something you guys are probably will flame me on, i had the yellow repainted... i know i know, but i think once i get the pics up you guys are going to warm up to it. So tomorrow i will post the pics, but just to make you wonder here's a before:
Well I used to have a volvo...

The color might actually be good, lets have faith in the guy. I just am glad to see people painting cars... hopefully he stripped it down before painting it and didn't just tape up some stuff and not spray the jambs and such. I have no problem not painting jambs if the car is black... but yellow jambs and a red/green/black/any color car... not so good.

Not bashing the color at all, till I see it. Just was stating FACT
I'm actually excited to see it.
