been a while

its been a while since last update, other hobbies etc have kept me occupied. since last time i have gotten my Lacrosse charger, its a pretty sick little piece. fully adjustable current, peak detection, discharge, and cell cycling/conditioning. also i have replaced the chassis of my MR02 to the clear type, so both MR02's have those clear skeleton chassis. i have reverted to using the stock gear diff in my cars, i find they are more trouble free than the ball diff units, and give sharper turn in, abeit it is harder to handle the cars exiting the corners.
AND THE BIG ISH is, i have a lancer EVO VII autoscale that has seen better days. im starting to become paranoid to run the VW golf, so it is becoming a display unit before it accumulates any real damage. so i have converted my MR015HM to the more stable RM configuration, and am restoring the EVO to use on it. being a WRC car, there are roof scoops and such. the scoops are gay, especially when i want to make it a street look car. so i took off the scoops, and was left with not surprisingly a few unsightly holes. since there was already alot of damage to the body work, i decided to break out the epoxy to reinforce broken areas from under side, and have been using bondo to fill the exterior. after several bondo, sand, and prime, i am ready for painting....almost. this is when i decided to fill in the large antenae hole on the roof, since theres already a whole for it in the rear window. this hole is hard to fill, since its so large. but the body work i can say is pretty close to flawless now, the dented or chipped areas are now filled and sanded, and nice and smooth...no wavy body work here.
so now comes time to paint it, soon enough anyway. but i am torn at what color to paint it. my idea was to do it in matte black, with gloss black hood, roof, and trunk. another possibility is 'diamond silver', and with the black hood etc. or do i go candy purple? or all gloss black? or perhaps audi aluminum silver...since i dont want to buy new paint, i must limit to the colors i have, as mentioned above. anyway, feel free to leave a comment if you have an idea what color scheme i should go with! =)
