Ha yeah. It was repainted "Black Cherry" ages ago. Really nice color in the sun.

I think the turbo is leaking oil, fouling stuff pretty quick, and I dislodged the firewall pumping the clutch so that needs a few welds to keep from flexing. Lots of stuff to do on that car, and other projects had priority.
