Finished the body a nice "Krylon White" i have some touch ups to make but im pleased with it, being a ~$70 paint job anyways

.
The wife had the camera so you get phone pictures!
The A-Pillar gauge pod was getting tacky looking so i cleaned it up a bit with a single-din triple gauge holder.
Painted the one rim what was caliper paint black but came out textured. Actually really like it so the rest will be done the same this week.

It's stock as long as that engine is in it. Compression is reading 150,150,165,155. With the stock level supposed to be at 184 and the service limit at 142 its wearing down but for 136k miles and no prior service done i think its had a decent life. When i bought the car ~5 years ago i believe i was the first person to change the spark plugs at 103k.
......The BP will come soon.

Bought an Ebay Rear strut bar, wrong one was sent but i drilled it out and made it fit, seems pretty sturdy probably not as good as the corksport one but money saved is money spent other where.
Sills installed just need to find a product to give them a nice shine
Also bought an Aluminum gauge bezel, will install that when i get a new cluster. Also on the lead of some leather seats. Couple other little things on the way as well.

Looking sweet!
Try an aluminium and stainless steel cleaner for the scuff panels - they're sold at supermarkets for appliances - we have some for our fridge, dishwasher, bin, toaster, etc. Works a treat, though I'll bet you have a better variety of brands over there!

Thanks! and of course plenty of plans in the works.
Get to replace the horrid cracked and stained rear panels i picked up from Jovian2k(Thanks again!) at last, with the addition of some clean front ones.
Get to replace the cluster thanks to Superk also. Will actually have a fuel and Thermo gauge! All to come this week

. And much more in store.

Reinstalled passenger side vent visor, (after an attempt was made to break into my car a while back). Tried to use two sided foam tape but the rain/temperature caused that to fail, I'm trying out Loctite Outdoor mounting tape now, that should work.
Rear black panels were installed, Black hatch trim installed
Received BRAND NEW rear mudguards and installed them.
Received a Eunos bonnet emblem and put that on.
I'm in the process of getting a GS rear lower tie bar. I went to pretreat the bolts so i'd have an easier time getting them off and after taking off the large rubber piece that covers the bolt i find out the place that fixed my lateral link a few years ago put the bolt on backwards so the big part is towards the back

.
Pictures to come image shack is down at the moment.

Just need a lip and some euro sides and i'll be done with the exterior.
It's so nice to have all new and correct hardware on an install even if they are just mudguards
More items still to roll in

Im on the fence about the wrap around spoiler, i think it would take a few good pictures of one on to sway my opinion. I think it could work though, but where in the world would i get one of those

cars looking great! normally not a fan of multi spoke rims let alone black ones, but you made a good choice with yours, they go well with the car for sure!
as for getting a wrap around, got find one of us nice canucks to pull one from pnp as i do believe the wrap around wing was canadian GS only (i could be wrong on this tho)

White cars with raised spoilers look pretty darn good
