i am a newb to this site..if you dont know already. well my story is i got tired of looking at a everyday piece of @!#$. it still is by many but not by few.
before
after
this has been done over the time since i've joined this site in March and having no license.
fixed all dings & dents
sealed & primerd
clear corners
orange turn signals
ported head
secret cams
HO mani & tb
header
engine paint
i did all this with a lil help of borrowing tools. its not done all the way but its almost there. comments are welcome. also any ideas what to do with the cruise control box on the firewall. i still want cruise.
nice upgrades
RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...
For my cruise control just modified the plastic holder and turned the module 180* so it was facing the other way but still bolted up straight.
Almost forgot...it looks 100 times better. Im a fan of the satin black n the engine looks nice too.

better pics of the paint job please?
WiGM-Tuners member.
also i put 5-way l.e.d.'s in dash
one day i'll have it professionaly painted back the color it was and dropped on 18 inch chrome...all i know is that its looks a hell of a lot better than clear coat cancer. also i'm wanting to do the neon rear brake swap....and bump it up a notch with a turbo.
paint looks good! where are ur skirts?

Looking really nice man,
I don't know about that front plate though.
I think the original filler panel would look much nicer
Good work bro.

Looks like the next set of pictures is from during the work I'm assuming, The mirrors and skirts are missing in the later set, but are present in the original post. I noticed this also lol.
Also noticed amber corners on a Z front, I like it.
For the Cruise control, these are
MantaZ's pictures from his. I suggest doing it this way.....
D*mn, I edit too much now....

i would love to get my hands on a filler plate. yeah and the later pics was after i drove it home from where i painted it. thats why the skirts, spoiler, door trim, and mirrors are off. i just put the bumper covers on before taking a pic. it didn't have anything on it when i painted it. i did all the stuff missing in the backyard. also mike (96redcav) is there a place to mount the box inside like that?

I like my girl car. I just laugh at those fools

what...........its proly hittin between 145 and 147db's to the back of the dome. but i dont know, i haven't put this set up on a meter. if i vent the box and put more juice to it and seal the whole car id be louder. i hit 144.6 with 2 12's sealed on 1800watts at 1ohm with no dynamat, stock alt, and batt. and got first place in street class.
and yeah i'm diggin the black 2.4 cover.

why repaint it if you dropped it now it would look sick
I was having some serious question right off the bat, but through the rest of your posting and pictures I have determined that I dig your style and hardwork man.
Can't wait to see how the car comes along.
If I am allowed a suggestion... please think about something other than chrome wheels. Chromes are always too damn heavy, ya know?
