Quicksilver MK3/NA-T build

[GotToyota?]

This is the updating/revolutionized build thread for my 89' N/A. The car was originally Toyota silver #176. I had the car repainted, and all was well, until this happened:

Hit and run at the parking lot of where I work. And I received my check for the damage from insurance, blah blah blah. After thinking about what to do, I've decided to paint the car one of the rarest/coolest colors ever, MK4 Quicksilver, I'll be one of the only few MK3's in the US to sport this color. This is what the paint looks like:

My car is already lowered, and I've already put on the exhaust of my choice. I'll also be getting MK4 N/A wheels next weekend. Soon after the paint job I hope to continue on with my plans for the NA-T conversion. The car is going under the knife this week or next for it's body reconstruction.

This is how I hope my final result to come out (paint isn't exactly quicksilver though):

I'll keep everyone updated with pictures and any updates that come along. Wish me luck.

get the 3 piece wing while you're at it... im telling you, its gonna make your car amazing!

 

[BorHor]

Good Luck. I was thinking of painting my car the other rare MK4 color RSP. Maybe next time.

 

[GotToyota?]

Really? Your car would've been awesome RSP, not that it doesn't look great already.

 

[BorHor]

You know how to put a smile on my face don't you.
The N/A rims should come out nice with the car also. To bad it is hard to find anything wider then a 245 with a good sidewall size :icon_conf

Didn't you just paint the whole car?

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

He was hit and runned

 

[OneJoeZee]

I know but dented fender = paint the whole car... again?

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

apperentally. Might as well as its gonna look sikkkkk

 

[GotToyota?]

I know but dented fender = paint the whole car... again?

Yep, why not when insurance is covering it?

-Matt

 

[OneJoeZee]

Insurance is paying to repaint the entire car because of one fender?

 

[GotTurbos?]

wingless FTL... and im not the only one that thinks so!!! geeze Matt, listen to me.

Joe, why does it matter? insurance paid enough to cover a full paint job, since he got the fender for an amazing price, there is enough left for a full job and not just a patch.

 

[BorHor]

Wingless FTW!

Ill give you guys the same challenge I gave Matt:

find a picture of a wingless mk3, that looks better than it would with a stock 3 piece or other wing.

The only one I like was 2jzmk3's car, but thats only because he has a hatch visor... which gave the rear some aggressiveness, which is what wingless mk3's lack.
