This is my 04 Cav.....
Wednesday, May 07, 2008 11:36 PM
Well I bought this car back in November from another Org member in Indiana for a good price.
It had a few problems that I had to address but nothing to major, mainly wiring and some extreme weight reduction that needed to be fixed before it could be a daily driver.
So far I have fixed the trunk, got the HVAC working again, got new tails, fenders, hood, ditched the body kit, GM strut bar, moved ECU, and put in a new dash and carpet.
I still need to button up exhaust, fix pass side seat, get headliner, get trim piece for the front bumper, figure out what suspension I want, get a new rear as I don't really like the one on there now, and install more of the parts sitting in my shed.
On with some pics.......sorry about only being in the driveway still not licensed or insured......



Before....







After....







in the pics the front is just kind of mocked up but you get the idea

C&C welcome .... yes it will get dropped just saving money to do it right

Also if anyone has that trim piece for the OEM front don't hesitate to let me know

well, when i got it it was a mess. Wires are cut so i have no interior lights, little sound, I had to rewire HVAC, then the trunk was riveted to the body kind of and half assed together with bondo, spare tire well was cut out and thin sheet metal was riveted to the trunk floor it had no interior ...it was a mess ha

thanks for the comments guys it really has come along way just to get it back to stock
and i may be picking up 98 z rear and sides tomorrow, i dont know if i wanna do that or 00-02 rear and 03+ sides
thanks again not bad for a 1200 dollar car
