The Virtue Z

[Touge86]

Here is a pic of the motor all tucked away into the garage, or um tent! Also the car gave up the ghost I guess today? Won't turn over and the gas cap has gone missing? Really weird.

I wasn't planning on attacking the paint until everything else was done, but someone owes me money and wants to pay by way of painting the car. I suppose this isn't terrible bad though because I would like to paint the bay before throwing the new motor in.

Anyways help me decide what you think looks best. Here are a few Forza mock ups, but I am open to opinions. Keep in mind I did order Carbon fiber Flares, and a carbon BRE wing so those will remain unpainted.

1: Black and Gunmetal 2 tone



2. Black and Gunmetal with colored stripe





Got the stripe idea today when I saw this:



3. Laguna Seca Blue



4. Orange and Black 2 Tone

Stripe looks pretty good.

Sweet car you've got there mate! As for the looks of it, this stripe, ehmmmm... I don't really like the look of it on the Z. I'd go for an oldschool JDM look, pretty much like the Wangan Midnight devil Z, but that's just me!

Laguna Seca blue +1

^thanks for the feedback on paint. I will have to figure it out. I think just two tone black and a color is pretty oldschool looking though.

here are a few inspirational pics:




I decided that for the size of project this is becoming I needed to get something to haul the car/ parts around.


SO...
I got this for the sole purpose of using it for the z project:
1993 Ford E350
V8
Tow Rated between 7 and 10000 lbs (This is the range I have found reported online)
Also the interior already doesn't exist so I don't have to strip it.

Biggest downfall: This thing is huge!






here is a quick mock up of the direction this van is going:

Ok so I got anxious and just painted it today.

Here's my support vehicle! I can officially tow my car around town for kicks now!

How about a gnose conversion?

Defo stick with the gray/silver paint job, that looks awesome...

Now I want to go watch Wangan Midnight again, rats...
