Well I've only got one pic so far of this colorful beast, but after some piecing together I've got a straight 85 Si. I polished up the stock 10 spokes that I stole off my 84 parts car, and I think they might stay around for a while, kinda like em. Ground Control coil overs in the rear and just spun out torsion adj in the front. I will be indexing the torsions soon as well as redoing the struts at the pinch bolt for some extra travel. Does anyone know if the stock front shock bodies are also a two piece and that the pinch bolt location can be reground in them like the Illuminas? Anyways, here we have it.

I like the wheels too. I think it'll look really good painted a 2 tone, like maybe black/grey. Mmmmm, black and grey.

Man, I love it, nice stance.

Those wheels are where it's at man!!

Check out my build thread for prepping the car for a great Maaco paint job.

I spent about $15 in materials, 10 hours of prep work I did myself, and then took t he car down to Maaco for
paint, which cost me $325, tax and all. This was a urethane paint with integrated clear.
That doesn't include the jams/bay though. I'm just going to rattle can those. I don't think anyone will really notice.

I am VERY happy with the job they did, for the money.

Give it a shot!!

The entire tool selection at Sears or the contents of a Snap-On truck will do you no good if you do not know how to use them.

yeah it's basically a chameleon paint job... Just it doesn't change! No matter what angle you look at it from it's a different color! I like to keep em guessing! Question though? Does anyone know if the illuminas are any shorter than stock shocks?
