*** Project UpDate, Paint Pics are here! ***
I think it sure looks weird seeing it all black now! I mean it's been red for the last 14 years and now suddenly it's black, YIKES!!! I think it needs lot of shiny bits to make it look :cool: . After it's all together again with new shiny wheels, side pipes and new lights and emblems it should be ok.
Ok here's few shots, sorry dial uppers....
Here's couple of shots of the electric headlight conversion kit.
I can't wait to go back home and see it in person... Well I have no choice so it will be another week before I see it. :cry

Gotta love the black Jay! I can't wait to see it back together.
IMO, with all the custom work you've done to that whole car, I think it will be THE C3 around here in the future. It's definitely shaping up to be my favorite.
