it's black, lighting makes it look weird!
anyways, I've been really busy with work, havn't seen my car in a week, so, no real updates. Finished sanding orange peel - never again, lol! I did pick up few misc parts and modified the rad support to fit AWIC heat exchanger; I decided against that mazda oilcooler I posted earlier in favor of B&M 70266 "Supercooler". It fits perfectly behind the grill.
Also my HDD crashed and took all progress pix with it (not that the car looks much different than in the pic above). I'm going to the shop this weekend, hopefully I'll have something to post about.
cheers!
