Well howdy y'all!

My name is Azzy. I'm an avid car restorer and love to muck around with engines, stereos and paint.

I'm planning on dropping an SR20DET into a 1976 Triumph Dolomite Sprint and going full custom from there.

Search "alg1k" on youtube and you'll see what I mean.

Tis one has a Ford Cossy in it, but power to weight is apparently roughly the same. There's an SR conversion in WA, I've been talking to the owner and am keen to make a start.

Anyways, I'm posting some photoshop images below of what I'm idealy aiming for, any ideas on rims, paint, trim etc would be greatly appreciated.

The orange render is a custom colour I'm mixing up called Kool Fruit Orange, as I liked the colour of the Kool Fruit so much that I thought I'd try and duplicate it useing paint samples in the sun, so far it looks mint!

Hope to be a great asset to the forum. Cheers guys.

I agree mate, but I think it's missing that "edge." I think I need to photoshop some showwheels on this beatch.

She's going to a be a top to tail show car monster, so I have to be thorough.

Do you actually have the car yet? Surely one in decent nick would be hard to find in WA?

the orange looks like the old Valiant vitamin c that was on chargers
