Dont have a picture of what it looked like when I first got her.
But this is after i cleaner her up, fixed some scratches bought a repainted the front left fender.
Put on a spoiler and got my decals, hubcaps, most of my system made a custom box, none of the 1/0 gauge wire that is all throughout her
Did not move at this point-

Replacing the clutch, all the brake lines, brakes, front shocks, tires, muffler, made a custom front engine mount, all around engine tune up

Stock 7A-FE

Painted a little, Got a CAI and a Cat-back

Painted alot, with a new 7A-FE

Painted a little bit inside

Painted alot

Got rims and painted the calipers and drums

Got a 250 amp alternator smile.gif Kinetik batteries all 1/0 guage wiring

Body kit arrived!

Found alot of side rust (all along the side, and under)

Sanded and primed

After a long install, and got underglow

Started prime and paint the kit (temp. getting car repainted next month)

Where she is now, need to finish the paint up tomorrow and slap the rims back on (live in upstate NY so they were off for the winter)





Well thats where she is now, will get good pics tuesday night with the rims and everything painted
Tell me what you think, shes come a long way from not moving, and its been alot of "fun!" (*cough*work*cough)lol

i mean instead of buying the kit, i would've bought a drop so i can get used to the height before lowering body components. Just drive with caution and you wont rip your bumper off
