yellowbrick Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Here is the almost finished product:Thanks to Mike/Ronnie/John for all their hard work...original pictures/infomation thread/some details about the car with before pictures-http://www.turbobricks.com/forums/showthre...p;highlight=lt4One before picture:I was amazed at how nice the paint came out considering my car was driven a lot(230k miles on body) and never gargaged...needless to say she stays in the garage now! If you are in SE Va and need paint work done I have a guy for you...reasonable in price and he does very good work.The paint used was GM Admiral Blue from the 96 Grand Sport Corvette. I had all the chrome trim blacked out, and the rear wiper cover, mirrors and door and sunroof trim painted body color as well. Thee door handles are from a 95+ 960 as is the rear hatch. The tails are 960 as well. The sidemarker lights are from an s80. The front lights are glass euro 940. Aero kit is from a 740SE. I also added a MOMO steering wheel, which I like a lot. Window tint is 50% front 2 windows, 20% for the rest of the car.Next comes interior/stereo work and then a rear end.7:00am the day of the meet- That is me on crutches, 14 stitches on my right foot from stepping on glass, cut my foot to the bone...nothing a little Vicadin wont fix:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold my yellowbrick and my 850 turbo because this car is so much more fun.She scoots along nicely, I trapped 112mph @ the 1/4mile, but only a 13.2...after the rearend swap it should be good for low 12's.Later,Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
