Whoa! That's purty. Is that a re-paint or the original paint? It's hard to tell because my brother's isn't buffed out yet, but yours looks more 'red' than his.

What color is this car?

Here's new pics. They're not very good. The camera wasn't focusing and it was crappy outside so they're taken under the shop lights. But it's amazing how many different colors the car appears to be depending on the angle. With the GN rims it looks like a GN (though it's not - it's a "T", those are the rims off of my '87 GN).

We'll have to get pics in better lighting. This is a really neat color.

Well, that's definitely how I'd describe it. But actually it is code 79, which they called Dark Red Metallic.

It's my brother's car, actually, but thank you.
I updated the pics on that page with outdoor pics and a clean lens so the description above doesn't really apply.
Now starts the tedious re-assembly. The re-assembly is a lot more delicate than the disassembly because you have the new paint to worry about. Plus you start to realize how crappy your old trim looks and you gotta stop to pretty that stuff up.

Kudos to you guys for restoring that car!
Post more pics when complete

Thanks. The credit goes to my brother for spending the money on it. I get the credit for talking him out of selling it about 1,000 times. Mike isn't the most patient guy on earth and we all know that working on these cars requires a lot of it.
Now we can bring both cars (his T and my GN) to the Tuesday night cruises. I just have to park somewhere else so his car doesn't make the GN look bad.

No way, we should park side by side. With your GN rims on my car no one will know which is the GN without looking at the badges. 
BTW, I'm plenty patient. I may get mad but have I ever given up and walked away?

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I'll keep posting pics of my progress as I put it back together.

Maybe, but I always go back to it.
