Hey guys. Picked up a fairly clean Twin Turbo Liberty Wagon a couple of weeks ago and is now sitting in the shop awaiting the following. New engine and Manual Conversion - EJ20 Twin Turbo boxer engine - 5SPD Manual But the main thing its receiving is the new paint work. While the engine is now out it will be receiveing a satin black fix up as when the engine is in you can harldy see the engine bay so we're not wasting time there The out side is where the action will be A few dints have been repaired. Im awaiting a new JDM front bar which will give it some aggression from the standard front bar. and here's the fun part The car will be receiving a fresh coat of two tone (silver and purple) candy pearl painted over a marble effect base. For those who know what marble effect is, It looks amazing when done properly and is something different you wont see everyday on a road car. The purple will be fadded from top to bottom on the car basiccly leaving the front and rear bars silver and following that line around. With a Prestige Paintwerks Logo to go on the lower part of the doors under the trim, No decals will be used but its whats called a 'mask' where they silver base will be painted and then a clear decal of the logo be put down. The marble effect will be done and then the two tonned effect laid and the decal will be removed leaving it a basic silver colour to set it apart from the other effects going on. Then cleared It should be up and running in just over two weeks I will be posting the first photos tomorrow after i get back into the shop.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
