Thats granny shifting not double clutching like you should.

Accented the plates behind the mirrors

your a body man spraying on orange peel?

wet sanding and buffing will fix the peel.

o i know that

Finished sanding the glaze on the passenger fender Monday. Also the parts came back from primer-surfacer. Will get pics of primed parts during welding. Just have to wetsand those for paint and good go to. Also accented the plates behind mirrors... well one so far anyway. Still gotta do the other.
Oh also played with the buffer some more

For some reason every time I sprayed that spot it orange peeled. But gotta match the orange peel on the rest of the car too. Besides rattle-can is a little difficult not to get orange peel

Just at a first glance, I guarantee you that car has had the **** beat out of it.

That's true. I've always wanted one since I played NFS as a kid.

As long as the body looks nice is what I like. They are pretty with potential.

I'd do it bro! If you know that it's a cheaper platform + RWD, that's a win in every book.

Buy one 240, then buy 5 more with all the extra parts you're going to need.

I wouldnt buy one unless I was stupid rich.

Yeah but it'll consistently break.

Fast, Cheap, Reliable. Pick two.

LOL you all crack me up with comments on the 240.

LS1 swap and take all 3. 4L60E tranny hooked to it and you won't have to worry with how hard it was beat on, it'll be golden for years.
Then swap in the 5 lug hubs off a 300ZX or late model 240 and you can get a much better selection of wheels and upgrade the brakes to match. Win win. Do It

Similar to this, like my friend built. Fun car, really fast

Lol. Sure. Nothing will ever break in an LS1, ever.

I didn't say it wouldn't EVER break. But a LS1 doesn't break consistently.
