Few changes and future plans....
Saturday, July 14, 2007 12:54 PM
I never really post pics of my car on here anymore but since i got most of the bodywork done, and finally after 6 months got my trd eyelids on, id post a few up and let you know where the car stands and where i plan on going with it this year.....









Now the reason i have those crappy black wheels on there is because of this.......



That was a very bad day let me tell you...... But I'm going to powdercoat the spokes black and get all new tires for them

The interior still looks like this and is pretty much going to stay like this... I'm happy with how it looks






And heres my final photoshop of what im going for.....




I still need to get the new kit in and the 03 LS Sport rear...... I'm also doing the w-body brake swap and possibly the irs swap in the rear. That paintjob is pretty much what im going for but I'm trying to come up with some other ideas to. So if anybody has any suggestions feel free to comment.. thanks

i'm not a fan of the harness mounting angle in the back. why'd you get a bc2 front if you're planning to change to a trd? i like the direction that you're going though. keep up the good work.

your car seems very confused all of a sudden, and like john said fix the harness angles

Should look great when finished if it turns out the way the photoshop is.

Right now everything looks so out of place...no side skirts with that front bumper, looks funny.

& you need new door panels, or put some tweeters in the old window crank holes.

Looking forward to the progress...

i know you want to reuse the wheels but i would sell them and get something different, they just remind me of your old car

tight progress...mysuggestions to be unique would be if you're going to paint the eyelids black...try making custom ones that are molde din since you have the one piece headlights. the two tone would looks titties w/ it...as for the TRD kit 'n what not would look sick so i look forward seeing your progress for your plans...hope you take my advice~

Yes the car is very unfinished at the moment...... reason being because of my life taking some serious turns this year and I just havent really been able to touch the cavy. I was able to take a weekend though and fix the accident damage on the passenger side and get my eyelids prepped and primed.... but other than that my cavy is last on the list of priorities.

The front bumper was given to me for a set of headlights and i kinda just went with it. But its a knock-off and not the authentic BC2, so it has waves and crap in it then I don't like whatsoever. I want a finished car that looks straight and fit like it came from the factory and it just wont happen with that bumper.

I plan on doing a full season of the Central PA SCCA auto cross next summer, so really I have until then to finish this car. And if things haven't gotten better for me by then, I'm probably just going to give up on everything altogether. I'm hoping things do go a lot better cause I'd like to add a motor swap in there somewhere. Nothing crazy but at least something.

Ok the wheels... they are 16" American Racing Estrelas (sp?), powdercoated black.... I got them for free by trading the old 3800 S/C motor that I was going to put in my last cavy. They actually are very nice wheels and have brand new tires on them. Just not my style but they do for now. I may sell my 19's, just don't know yet... i really like them so I'm probably gonna get them powdercoated
