Well, I got sidetracked (again) during summer and not much got done on the car.
This time it was mostly money related....I went on vacation and had some legal papers drawn up that cut into the budget...also, it was just too damn hot and I was out catching baseball games and whatnot.

Thats about to change as I gear up for cooler weather. Ordered my front tires today (Kumho 275/40s) and plan on buying the parts needed to finish the front suspension and a guage package..and maybe a t5 rebuild kit. Work will resume shortly and I expect some quick major progress.

One thing that was one my mind all summer long was paint color. I spent a few days wandering auto row looking at various versions of dark gray/graphite variants.

Im split between Toyotas Magnetic Gray Metallic (1G3) and Nissans Smoke (K11).

Heres a couple sample pics...they are very close I know.

Heres a couple shots of a recently completed Gordon Levy Mk 4 in BMWs dark graphite color...Also very close in color...and quite sexy in my opinion...Im excited.

Its very close to what I want to build...my small changes are:
Heat shields...possibly painted body color.
Side vents painted black.
Front air dam.
Grille for front radiator intake.

Anyways, feel free to vote in the comments.
