Color of car: Silver Green Pearl/Dark-Grey Metallic
Build date: 12/88
original transmission: 5 Speed manual
sunroof: Yes
HUD: Originally yes, not any more apparently
wing: no
State: Florida

Just bought it this weekend, last owner is on the site i believe. Pretty beat up,bought it with the intention of it being a beater but now that I know what is it, a seafoam two-tone coupe, I feel that it's my responsibility to keep it somewhat good looking.

Silvia front is looking better and better but all my money is going to fund my hatch's big single build.

Threw some wheel I had on, sits pretty good, not sure if it's hitting anywhere as far as wheel to coilover, driver side fender rubs the tire a bit but it's rolled so it's good for now.

^^If you decide you want to sell it let me know, I move to FL in a few weeks and I need a sunroof car to switch all my stuff over too. haha

[doke! ドリフト]

nice that was my friend Brandons coupe, good to see someone bought it with intentions on keeping it two tone

[!Zar!]

I want to paint mine all one color.

hate onnnnnnnnnn

[towlie]

It's not like you can't always repaint it factory colors down the road

[Wake]

ZAR! paint it all green!

I was considering doing it to my coupe but it didnt start as 2 tone.
However there is one for a good deal on CL right now I might try and snatch that up.

[Vatche]

just want to thank all the people that have clean two tones, and for the people who drift them into walls, please choose another color scheme to crash and save me all the two tones

but seriously thanks guys for all the awesome pictures of two tones over the years. i love this thread. so dont fuck it up.

I'm picking up a two tone this weekend, 167k miles on it with auto trans, buying it from the second owner it's been parked for 6 years and is gonna need some tlc! I'll post pics when I get it!

Yep thats him. Next time you see him you may want to warn him that wiring a little toggle switch straight to the battery with like 12-gauge unfused wire isnt the best or safest idea

My two tone's dash just cracked yesterday. Major bummer. It cracked vertically right in the middle of the gauge cluster hump.

Also, the HUD projector thing doesn't completely flush on the dash, is anyone else's like that?

5speed
sunroof
hud
no spoiler
this is how it set the day i bought it

this is how she sits today. I still need to paint it after we test fit some parts and work a few bugs out. I'm definitly keeping it two tone and lowering it a bit more.


326 will not be put on the car

[nismobenzo]

^poor car ;P

In case you guys were interested, I hit a deer, and thus was stuck either driving with a maroon fender, or rattle canning it back to two tone. To my surprise, It actually didn't come out horrrible. The Gunmetal Metallic from Rustoleum is a damn near perfect match. Great for touching up those chipped lips from being low.






Please ignore my hood. Its getting painted this week.

Since when did this turn into the Rice thread?

I don't know if youi're referring to my pink ass hood but I'll shed some light onto what car car has been thru the last two weeks, just so you know this wasn't a personal choice.

Destroyed a deer, thus fucking up my hood, headlight, and fender.




Bent my radiator support to the point my hood wouldn't even latch



I beat the shit out of the support with a sledge hammer, and then I picked up a fender that was maroon, and headlight covers and a hood off of a friend who had his entire car vinyl wrapped in that vinyl. I repainted the fender as close to silver as I could find for my budget, and TBH, the silver looks like shit in person. I ran out of paint (and spending money, fucking end of the month bills) so thats why its still that vinyl and not painted.

[!Zar!]

hood/wheels. Make them normallllllllll

The rest is cool.

[Wake]

with his 2tone plans from the paint thread it should come out looking pretty fucking sweet.

Even tho it wont be an oem 2tone and I usually dont condone that.

[Petitt]

Yeah what he said. Like this lol



Gotta give it time. I find it hard to spend money on my car knowing I'm losing my job at the end of this month

Got to love those damn love bugs. Nothing more fun then having to clean my car after everytime I drive it.

Did somebody on here pick up that 2tone that was on SF's craigslist? I wanted it super bad but it was gone before i got the money together.

It was 89 seafoam/gray, 5sp, power everything with working HUD and moonroof. No spoiler and the paint was a tiny bit faded other than that it was super clean. I didnt even see any dents from the pics.

I'm 15 min from spring hill, surprised I haven't seen you around yet. I miss my two-tone, you may see my vert around in a few years if I ever get it on the road.

Cause I sold my car with the intention of buying a reliable old person car but I seem to be defenseless against the power of the coupes.

And yes I did find it on sf cl

[allntrlundrgrnd]

These wheels were on the car when I bought it, not really sure how I feel about them...

[Wake]

fuck yooooouuuuu!!!!

I was gonna buy that car. Theres was another one like a week later that i missed out on too.
Guess Ill just have to wait until the end of summer when all the fanbois sell their "projects"

[allntrlundrgrnd]

$1800

Im getting Maryland historic plates for it too so no smog, inspections, emissions...

[!Zar!]

You can only run out of state plates for so long before you get caught.
