ya my cars kinda isnt photoworthy, LOL.. maybey from the passenger side... i put a 91-92 front bumper on it, 85-86 vented fenders, fiero gt spoiler, replaced the drivers door, european paddle mirrors.. a little missmatched color wise... soon (when i get it back to the states) to do a 4th gen interior swap. got almost all the stuff i need out of a 96 camaro. had a nice ebony interior in it. got the seatbelts, center console, and door panels for starters.. just need the dash (didnt have the money at the time)

There should be body shops around just about everywhere you can get paint at ... just have your color code and year of production handy when you go in to get it mixed ...

there is a great shop in your area for paint.... WZB in Binsfeld- American owned/operated Call and ask for Mark, he is hard to get a hold of but in the morning around 8 shouldn't be a problem. Tell him you are on this site.... 065 75 960 66 email: hd-lebida@t-online.de

I am taking my car into Mark on Monday to see if he can't get the diff quieted down. I am never taking my car to Kramer again! I guess he does good work on European cars, but my diff has been noisy as anything, and started leaking about 3 months after he worked on it. I have heard nothing but good things about Mark though. We'll see his painting skills when I get my body damage fixed soon.

No, I left it off. I knew I would need to get it reinspected again, so I didn't bother. The muffler was old anyway.
