Andy, I'm probably going to pick up an older explorer from a friend of mine for dirt cheap, so I'll need a trailer. Just have to find a place to put all this shit! My blue sol, the green race beast, the explorer and a trailer stake up a lot of space!

I have a love/hate thing with Samba. From what I've read on this board, it seems to be one of the rarer colors... around my area I encounter tons of white and red and the light blue, and once in a while a black one. There is one very ricy Samba in the area. I have NEVER seen a dark green one except in a picture on the net which may have been photoshopped.

Still... Samba attracts attention. If you start pulling 12s and whatnot at the track, you may want to leave it an eye-magnet like it is now..
It is a pretty rare color. There is one other one in my area, and he works at a place that's right across the parking lot from where I work... Scary. But hehas altezzas, and some nasty rims, so I don't think I could have ever confused it this winter when I was stil using it as a daily driver.
About the greens. There were 3 different greens that I know of. The samba (bright ass neon green), more Jade or turquoise color, and then a dark green that looks black until you get close to it...

If you think I'm doing it flat black to look good, you are sadly mistaken. This car is all about budget, and all about seeing how far I can go with as little money as possible. Selling all the parts that I take off has funded most of the project so far. And I've sold jack, so that tells you how much other shit I had laying around, and how much my crew has been helping me out! I don't want to actually spend money keeping parts the original color if I'm going to be welding door skins onto the car. Aluminum is cheap, why go make it expensive by spending $50 on the paint to cover a door worth $8...?

I'll try to keep you guys updated on the progress!

It's cheap and easy power. And if you blow the engine, well, there's 300 for another d16!!! EASY!


Holy shit.... I'm agreeing with Crucial on something.... Maybe I'm gonna have to change my user name to "Bakeoff-T" or something...
