This is BAT material. Are you building it as a retirement plan? It might be a better idea than mutual funds.

That's probably the place to sell something like this.
Also, I'm heavily vested in E30 futures, with a diversified portfolio in some fiberglass markets.

I'm not opposed to painting a car again.

I know how to shop for paint, and what equipment to use this time.

Just not in Louisiana, in the summer. :nope:

Purple :jeep: :megusta: Although I could defintely live with it being Fire Orange too.... While we have the interior all taken out, I'd probably get that coated in bedliner.

I'll be wrapping the Meowta probably first... With the intent of doing a full strip and paint down the road after talking to Alan a bit about it.
When I build a shop I plan on making some foldable wall/visqueen setup to have a decent isolated area for painting.

:word:

That's a solid plan, the car is oxidized, but the paint isn't bad. You could spend some times with 3000 grit wet sanding it, and polishing it to a good shine.

Ideally, I want to paint, but I'm looking at more prep time. I'll wait till the motor's done, and I have a place to kind of put the car up out of the elements while it's down to bare metal. Vinyl is relatively inexpensive and fast, so I'll go that route first.
