Who did the paint? Looks good, is that Milano red or another color?

Re: Finally some pics of my work in progress.
 

Yes it is Milano red, Maaco did the painting, I did all of the body work. It came out pretty good for a Maaco paintjob that cost $400 so I'm not complaining, its not like the car will ever see winter so it will have a hard time rusting again.

You did the right thing cutting out the rust.

What're the plans for it?

Re: Finally some pics of my work in progress.
 

its all in the prep work
looks super nice

Re: Finally some pics of my work in progress.
 

Well I did cut it out, just had no means of welding so I used fiberglass from the inside, then used long hair filer, gave it its shape, then used regular filler on the outside...car will never see winter so I give it 2 years before any signs of rust come out again. by then I'll either have a newer car or get the 1/4s cut completely out and new ones welded in.

The plans for now are to get the B16 finished and swaped in, along with a good suspension and some nice wheels. I just finished installing a manual steering rack in it, that saved about 40lbs. also planning for a CF hood and going to get rid of that black crap stuck to the floors under the carpet for more weight reduction. hoping to make this car weigh as much as the CX coupe which is 2200lbs vs. my 2400lb Si.

I should have some better pics tomorrow.
