      Smile 1983 crimson cat project

      If you remember about a year ago i got my crimson cat, since then i have been working on it and getting more parts for it. but here is what it looks like now. (yes i still have the original metric rims)



      and as you might know the bumpers yellow out so i just got some cheap satin spray paint and sanded the black parts and......

      BEFORE



      AFTER it looks 20 times better



      and then i sprayed the front bumper







      And thats all tell me what you think. and also if you would like to donate to the crimson cat foundation please pm me. lol

      Looks nice. Keep up the good work. It is always pleasing to see a CC rescued.

      Since you asked, I have to say that I am not a big fan of those rims. They remind me of '80s Saab rims. I can't quibble with what you paid for them, though. That's a bargain.

      Not liking the rims. That is the first thing I thought. But it is your car. Looks nice otherwise.

      A little work goes a long way. Looks sharp. If ever I can get another car, I want a CC.

      yea right now those wheels are just roller wheels because my metric wheels have no tread and my dad wanted me to have some wheels with tread on them. lol

      On the whole wheels thing. I personally can't stand the original wheels that came on the "magic" cars...Hidious things. I am more of a chrome and saw blade man though.

      I am down with the chrome thing! I agree as well, the putrid gold TRXs do nothing for me.

      Your car's lookin good. I'm not a fan of the wheels but for the price.

      That's how I ended up with the wheels I have on my 83.
