Media blasting (sand blasting), instead of using sand they use very fine ground up glass.


Ohh, that's a good way to decosmoline.

How did the finish turn out (hard to tell on the photo's)? Is it a smooth finish?

It be down for doing a few for you guys.
I glass beaded it which removed all the old paint and cosmoline/grease, then painted it with Dupli-color cast aluminum ceramic paint. the finish is still the same texture but looks as it its never been painted it came out just like i wanted. i'll post more pics of it later.

Pictures never truly show a car remember that.  Lower anything, put wheels on it clean it up and put it on the forums and a decent photographer can make anything look presentable.
The car had terrible paintwork repairing some dents at one point.  It has  some straightening on the drivers door/quarter and the paint work is mediocre at best.  To most people it probably looks fine but I wark at a body shop so im Super picky. But as I said its a beater I dont care, it has all original panels though thats the main reson I bought it.
If it doesnt have original paint and panels(like my 89) its a beater.

Picked this car up the other weekend
http://r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=130107





It needs lots of things like a timing rebuild, release bearing, CABs.
Ive got lots of things to put on it already.

Bilsteins, P/N 50404.55 H&R Sports, M20 Flywheel and clutch, stainless brake lines
Spare parts FTW
Ive got some 15" BBS RZs to go on it as well.
Lots of miles but the car is in amazing shape all original paint and panels, close to perfect interior, tweeters, premium speakers, black headliner, nice car.

Hopefully have it lowered and order some tires and a IS lip for it next week.

Nice find. Saw the ad on r3v a few days ago. It sure looks great for its mileage.
