Thanks for the offer, but I'm not really interested in the "Swoopy" power mirrors, I actually like the 88-89 LX power mirrors better..

Here are some more pics of my sunroof:




And my aspire brake swap I got from festivaWES

Update

Some nice taillights that are going on the car

Tearing the front end apart to replace a bent up bumper




Bumper damage





Here's a pic of a fender that I have been trying the "$50 roller paint job" on, it's had 5 coats so far, and it's looking decent..

Thanks! I mixed it 50/50 with mineral spirits, then rolled it on enough to cover the whole panel, then went back over it with just the wieght of the roller to smooth it out.

That awesome to see you're rolling it. I always wanted to give that a try. Just some advice, after a lot of the research I have done most people recommend and use those small white hi-density foam rollers for best results. Maybe on your final coats, just an FYI.

It is a hi density foam roller, a 4" one.

Looking Sweet!!! I plan on going with white as well. Can't go wrong with a white festiva IMHO
