Wetsanded and buffed

So I wetsanded it and I'm pretty happy with how the orange peel came off of the car for the most part.  I'm sure in the sun I'll find spots that I missed but I can fix it later.  I was disappointed in the buffing as I could not get all the swirls out no matter how I polished it.  I guess I'll just have a professional do it some time.

My turbo showed up this week finally so I took it straight to the performance shop for ceramic coating.  My exhaust manifold is also there getting coated.  I bought a high out put alternator and don't want the exhaust heat killing it.  Otherwise, I just need to get the turbo in, finish the exhaust, and finish some emissions/hose things and I should be first start time. 


Front of the car with '93 headlights and an '88 grill that I though looked decent.  The chome stripping is all new from mitsu - paid a pretty penny for it!
Here's a side shot with the new shoes on it.  The wheels are hanging pretty low but will suck up into the wheel wells nice once it's finally on the ground again.
