As dirty as it is, it looks pretty damn clean.

Yep... and I figured, while I'm inhaling paint....



I had to use a different brand of clear coat on these.... and well, it's not as nice of a finish. I'll probably be the only one who notices though.
Looks great!

Noobs, I missed your question. It's all for Frankie.... my original intent was for this to go on The Eight Nine, but there is a resurgence of keeping them 4 lug as of late. Although, my friend messaged me last night about a 94/95 setup, which would keep my stock geometry while giving me larger rotors and the much better designed calipers. If I could put my brand new PBR dual piston calipers on the SN95 setup (not sure if they fit), then I just might be persuaded to do it anyway. The upgrade on Frankie is very minimal in comparison... it's only getting a larger (single) piston caliper.

As we sit right now, my 89 is just my "cruising to car shows car" for the summer. If I get the time, I'll pull the motor and reseal it all, because it has a natural "anti-rust" treatment going on right now, LOL.

Welp, I guess I'm buying these now. LOL. "Future" project, for sure. This will get me where I really wanted to be on the 89 anyway, with rear disc eventually.

So what color are you going to paint Frankie ? That's going to happen eventually correct ? What was the original color?

It was black. When I titled it, she asked "what color will it be?". I told her blue. I've always wanted a blue on silver GT. My Buddy's Dad had a 93 that he painted, and I fell in love with that car. I asked him what the name of the color was, and he said "I just made it up with stuff I had", LOL. So... that sucked. I'll have to see if I can find a pic of it.

Found one... this is after he sold it, and the new owner wrecked the front bumper cover though. I actually have one of those hood scoops too.... but I'd paint it satin black.
