I'm not sure if this is the "Banquet Beige" paint? The guy took a Coors Beer can to the Paint Store and told them to duplicate it's beige color and it was Sweet!

Sweet ride! You said you used 6 to 7 meters of the plaid fabric to do your interior. How much of the vinyl did you use? I really dig your car... and this thread, great stuff!

Great build man! How much did you drop the ride height? Also how did you do that?

Fri Mar 16, 2012 1:49 am

Hmmm ... not so easy. well let me think ...

i dropped the front 3 splines then raised it 1 spline and i changed the rear so often ... but i think is was:

the front 2 splines, the rear 1

i made it after reading and watching this topic:
