The car was originally red, but had so many body & paint problems that it needed a fresh coat. With that said, I decided I'd go for something a bit more rugged and had it done in Truck bedliner paint. It's a flat textured type paint. Turned out well. The skid plates/mud flaps are currently uninstalled, but I'll have them back on as soon as I swap in the rally struts.

(didn't get a chance to wash the car in these pics, but oh well)







(note: those dots are rain)

I know one of the stickers is a registration sticker and I think the other is a parking permit.

Legendary stuff. Funny that the speedometer only goes up to 180 km/h.
