Well i was bored of driving my explorer, and i needed another toy car, so i got a 92 TSI shell. I have an account at a JDM engine importer (for all the honda stuff me and my friends do) so i got the cyclone motor with tranny/transfercase/computer from them. its got the cyclone manifold but i'll soon be looking to swap that out. Heres some pics- i just painted it this weekend, my first time painting. I did it in my garage, it was tight but it came out somewhat decent. Heres some pics i have of it- dont have completed pics but hopefully those will be up next week.

i dont know from first hand experience, but you are gonna want to hang plastic shielding all around the garage and it wont be airtight, but i would say put some fans outside of that shielding and leave the garage door open slightly so air can circulate and you might be ok. it will probly get in the house a little, paint is like water, it goes wherever it wants, but it should limit that, not to mention break a whole bunch of EPA laws on "aerosol type" sprays. :D

thats what i was thinking, but what the hell might as well do it any way. just have to wait for the warmer weather and plus ill be pulling the engine so ill paint the engine bay while its out. thanks for the reply though.
