? 93 Notch, Calypso, Changing Original Color, Should I?

[88Ttopp]

Man if it was me I would paint it CALYPSO!!! Even if I want a black one.
Finish the car and sale it for a higher $$$ and buy a black one for lower $$$.
Then you have extra for race parts . I have two fox mustangs and the GT I got a couple of months ago. One of the things I like about it, it was repainted stock color and it looks great, when you open a door or the hood it matches. I bought this one not some others because they were mickey moused. Black mustangs are all over the place, KEEP IT CALYPSO!!

Keep the original. You're almost there! Painting the engine bay/underneath/jams/etc = PITA.

IMHO please don't put a stripe on the car.

Decision made,

Staying original color, No striping.

I will update this thread when I get new pictures of the paint (couple months I'm sure).

New starter? That trans is super clean...

 

[GeorgeORH]

Yes New Starter as well. ALOT of new parts are going on if there is any question on that particular part.

Trans is brand new T5Z, out of crate.

Well that explains it! Lol

Two tone it... black on top and calypso on bottom

one of my friends has a 88 hatch like this and i have to say it makes for one sexy $%^$% car!

 

[Codydubb]

I don't like the stripe going down the side, other than that its not to bad

 

[GeorgeORH]

I have acquired a 91 Notch in MUCH better condition and will be working it up to where I want it.

I'm unsure the fate of the Calypso 93, But for now it looks like it will be either sold as a roller or assembled and sold as a mostly stock car. I will probably straighten up the body and just primer it up for the next person...
Just wanted to let everyone know who is following this thread.

90lxcoupe,
What color is your car?

The issue I'm at is that the Calypso is different, But not a favorite of mine. And later if I did sell the car, I know it takes a special someone to like Calypso.

Calypso is about the only green I would own.

primering it up for the next guy isnt a good thing.... Most would much rather buy as it sits, than in full primer

Yep. MY first thought is WHATS UNDER THAT PRIMER.

 

[GeorgeORH]

Thats true, Maybe I should just leave it as it sits? It would cut down the cost/labor to get it to that point. I will put some thought into it before I do anything to the car.

Where are you located?
