Yes, Bob painted it. It was originally green (probably Irish Green). Then in the 1980's (?) it was converted to a V8 and featured in a magazine. It was painted purple then. Bob converted it to Subie power and painted it blue. The trunks are painted blue and engine bay as well. I think if you look underneath you might find some green. He didn't rotisserie it or anything. It's a driver paint job as described. Looks nice and presentable but don't expect a new car paint job.
It's been a while but when I drove this car what struck me was it was so well sorted. Conversion cars usually have a small list of "oh yeah you have to do this to start it...or...try not to use 3rd gear...or...pull over when it gets hot...or...don't turn left too hard..." stuff. This one had no real quirks like that. I would drive it anywhere. There was no heat/A/C but that can be added. And it's very quick. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
