History- My mom bought this car brand new in '02 and babied the shit out of it. It was then given to me in august of '07 with 38k miles and still looked the same as the day we brought it home, since then i have been a typical teenager and had my fair share of fuck ups, but most weren't to bad. I enjoy working on this car although sometimes it can be a bitch, it currently has 62k on the clock and is running strong( even with the current misfires). I have great plans for this car in the near and far future and hopefully some day this car will be a winner both in show and on the track

looks like great weather to have the moonroof open lol. But the car looks good i dont really like the mudflaps.

Ehh, I'm not feeling the chrome headlights with night shaded tails. The blue spider legs have really gotten old, I would rather see them tucked away. Other than that, keep 'er clean, keep up on all of the scheduled maintenance and good luck! :)

its clean and all but im not a fan of how you got the black tails and corners but then you have a chrome grille and the chrome sonars. id say stick with one them (black and white or white and chrome) and your car will look a lot better. other than that i like the way the engine bay is touched up a bit.

I definately agree with everyone else that has commented so far. You really need to get some blackhoused sonars or get rid of the blackhoused tails and get some chrome TYC's. I'd go with the blackhoused headlights :yesway:

as she sits now

OK, so I'm bored and decided to share some pics of my car as it sits right now, I've been working on it in my spare time for the last month or two, now i just have to wrap up a few small projects that are going on so that once i get my tranny back and my powder coated parts back i can get this beast running again. give me your opinions if you want, anything from it looks like shit to it looks great, which ever you choose

on the stands (yes- i already have a new painted bumper waiting to go on)

i try to but I'm just not a big picture taker.

I'm not very pleased with the door panels, i bought the marine quality vinyl which is suppose to be the best according to the old lady at Hancock, and it wouldn't strech very well and some spots have already started to lift up so they will probably get fiberglassed and color matched along with the radio bezel and center console once i get some extra cash

So what all is going on here.
new tranny, alot of powder coating, interior work to keep me busy while the tranny is in new jersey, new suspension, new rpw headers, new bumper, racing seats and some other stuff that i can't remember

So what all is going on here. I like the interior so far.

I need to dye the rubber piece around my sunroof as well.

Good luck keeping those white elbow rests clean. I have a really hard time keeping my dark blue suede looking clean.

Good luck with everything else too!

I've had the seats for about a year and a half now and never got around to putting them in, so when i bought them i never dreamed of having the white interior and tan leather in that style seat was to expensive. i would love to have my stock seats reupholstered to be black and white but i absolutely love the tight secure feeling and comfort that these seats have and it would be to expensive, i'd rather spend that money on the new motor + sds that I'm saving up for
