Re: Powders Shaved SL2 build

Kinda going from beginning to the current. I cant find any pics of it completely stock.













Heres the doors (car is dirty and I didnt have my battery in or I'd take it out for a good wash and better pics)

Re: Powders Shaved SL2 build

I like the way the car looks with no door handles. Is the kit painted yet? More pics if so.

Re: Powders Shaved SL2 build

No the kit isnt painted yet, waiting on new side skirts and then am sending it back to the body shop for paint. Who knows may end up doing that with financial aid soon here.

[quote="PlasticPower8500"]Good, I was about to ask about sideskirts :lol: The original ones I had were damaged when my car was stripped by thieves a long time ago [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/cry.gif[/img] and have been trying to repair them but it was beyond the hassel so I just recently ordered new ones.

Re: Powders Shaved SL2 build

Yeah i'm painting it. I hope. Just depends on the total cost for the rebuild and things i need for the turd. at the least just the 1/4 panels and the trunk will get paint. Making it run the way i want it to is priority over the paint though.

Interested in the gas door. Did you buy this or make it your self?
