Been a while since I posted here. I'm excited about my coupe at the moment because all the rust repair and body work is finally finished! Dean at Kranky Kustoms was very thorough in the rust repair and I'm happy with how it turned out. He also provided photos of every repair before, during, and after.

I've also picked out the colour. The original colour is Burnt Orange so Dean mixed up a batch. To be honest I wasn't overly impressed, I know I want an orange GT but factory Burnt Orange didn't really stand out. We played with the colour %'s a bit and ended up with a Burnt Orange that's a bit brighter than original. Somewhere in between Burnt and Octane Orange. And the GT stripes will be black rather than walnut glow.

Only down side is I won't get to see the car again for another 5 months because I have to go overseas with work. But it'll be a good to have a painted rolling shell in the garage when I get home!
