paint work looks really good! But have to ask, why have you only shaved the rear door handles? IMO would flow a lot better with all them shaved, but with a paintjob like that, dont see that happening

Also twin cannon's dont do it for me, would look better with a single muffler with upswept tips

Cheers
Marc

Well, I am a fan of the bonnet. I think that its simple but prominent without being too overbearing. Is it a custom one-off job?

The black and silver of the rims goes with the grape-ish colour of the car, but the rims are quite common though.

Keep up the good work. Cheers.

I'm impressed - looks quite menacing. Works much better as a whole than the sum of it's parts.

Even the missus likes it!

Its a A/M R33 bonnet cut and shaped to size...

Dude this Astina is awesome, looks really nice, keep up the hard work...

I recon you should relocate that battery to the boot when you move the wiring...heaps more room and nicer to look at...

hehe i just noticed no more side indicators NICE
and as for the wheels i love them man, look very nice. there are a few of those up here but mainly on comodores..
i know what u mean about the poppers failing.. that idea scared me as well. my plan was to weld the rear doors shut and give the car a brazilian. might still do some of them when i get some finances lol. i thought about having a cable (sleeved) fed in to the boot, so if the poppers do fail, u can pull it open the drives door... this idea clashed with my shaving of the rear boot pannel and relocating the reversing lights idea... LOL

also fuk me if this is still a work in progress, by the time u finish u will have one of the best, craziest BAs (well cars ingeneral) around
good luck and more pics of the car under the sun so that we can appreciate this beutifull paint (props 2 ur dad)
