if you don't mind me asking, how did you get the tail lights red all the way across? Are they painted?

[EricM]

they must be.

and is that a BF rear garnish? i've never seen black plate light housings.

I have the same garnish. I think it came on the 90-92 proteges.

looks good.. except the red striping on the grill is a bit too much for me

but it still looks good

[TRRC]

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm pretty well done with this one. I've poured all the sweat and tears and money I'm going to pour into her. This was almost a challenge, more than anything. I probably should have just totaled it, after stripping it for parts, but, ah well. I'm thinking next will be a turbo escort wagon with a '94 pro/323 front end. At the very least, it will be another BG, but with a PERFECT body. My buddy at the body shop owes me a favor. As always, I'll keep you guys posted! I will be mounting the rotas and the OE wheels on here sometime, and I'll be sure to post pics when I do.

TRRC, whats the name brand and size of the fogs you got? and were did you get them?
thanks

[TRRC]

The fogs ARE AWESOME. Without a doubt, one of the best kits I've ever seen. They are Blazer brand, from O' Reillys Auto parts. Excellent wiring, mounting, instructions, etc. Also, cheap. Like $15. Definatly better than the $30 APC's I had in the green car, with their chinese instructions, crappy wiring and missing/cheap parts. Pics with the Rotas coming soon (after I upload them)

[southerncross]

ive had those same fogs before. they're oem replacement for chevy s10/blazers (the old boxy ones). i loved mine. . . they lasted well.

New pics, with the Rota's, some attempts at framing, and some with good lighting:
