The Zn is no longer...

...a Zn. Its Volvo Saffron Orange instead.

Crappy cameraphone pic but its easy enough to get an idea on what I have done. The color is more orange and when the sunlight hits it the metallic really shows. I get to take all of the assorted goodies that arent on the car now down to the shop in the morning.

With the half assed paintjob that was on it before, all the crap of the bodykit and the DA marks from that previous paintjob, Im really impressed with how the car turned out.

The feeling of seeing a six month long project finally coming to an end is

FWIW, this is what I started with:

I like it. Then again growing up Orange was always my favorite color.

I was in a hurry last night I didnt look it over enough to realise that it was only assembled but still unfinished. They did tell me that it would be done today, so in good faith I went down with a check and the tow truck to find this.

Gotta love the Contour six spokes. The OE wheels will be on it soon enough.

Before its pointed out, I am aware that the rear toe is maxed out.
