well plan are gonna repair the motor just take it to stock have that friend of my partner put a non fast and furious paint job on it and sell it and hopefully make a buck or 2

what do you guys think for a color the stock was the dark green and it wont get the engine bay painted and it is still dark green
we were kinda thinking red but i didnt see the green when i was thinking that

Stock green to match the engine bay.

i agree, it always looks more legit IMO when you sell something that looks as clean as possible. Mismatching paint is a red flag, at least for me.

If you pull the engine and trany out when you repair the engine. you could just cover wire loom and shoot it all then all match.
Its more work but it will look better.

Dark hunter green would look nice and match the engine bay which will save a lot of work.

If you want to make money, get a big cheap metal wing on the back, put on a blitz bumper to finish the kit and just finish the paint all lime green. You'll sell it for a bundle on auto trader, kids will drive 500 miles for it, i've seen it happen.

LOL! How true

seriously, i would do the the dark green that it originally came with. I always liked the color on the 2nd gens. I believe that TurboWOP's car is the same color, right? It's been so long, but yeah, I deffinately liked that one, very clean looking and sharp.

Jared as a very good point there. If you "complete the look" some 18 year old kid will spend his graduation money on the thing.

its alive drove it around the block today. turbo boosted good, tranny shifted good. everything felt good but the brakes and i assume thats from it sitting for the last 2 years

and on a side note these are the hardest cars to get out of compaired to anything i own, maby im getting old but the seat feels about 3 inches from the ground

and now its off to paint (btw im thinking black)

I vote for some kind of blue. I've always loved the midnight blue. Looks dark blue in the sun, but any other time it looks black.
