update!

me and my bro finally repainted the dash, let it sit for 2 days, then re-installed everything (interior wise)


Sanding:


Step 2 (2 stage prime)


Gave it 4 coats of interior paint (matte black) and 2 coats of flat clear high tempeture paint.

this is the finished product.

update:

Originally had sum BBS Rs reps 16x7 ready for her, but didnt really like em, got a offer i couldnt refuse,so bye bye they went.

Then headed off to NY to pick up these babies, brand new with tires.


15x8 20 offset. Konig Wideopen. not the best wheel but they tickle my fancy. (nohomo)

Update!

Took her to my college (P&C) installed inner and outer tierods,lower ball joints. so shes all set to go.

Also threw on the new wheels, off to the alignment rack she went = )

Removed my front bumper in order to get on the alignment rack.. "dumpedness = P"

on with the pics!

Ready to hop on the alignment rack:


Alignment done, test drove her and she feels like a brand new car. = D.


While the bumper was off i managed to install my spoon replica front lip.

Car has come a very long way, im very happy with the progress although its not near done yet.

heres a few pics of her current stance... and yes she is now my daily = ).












Thanx to:

Pimpbebe (from Pimpbays)
Joey
kev
Kain
Neil
molo
pedrin
josue

and the Hellafresh & F.B.G.M crew!

for helping me out with this build when i needed it most.

more progress will be posted on her. this is only the beginning of an awesome coupe!

i spent 200 bucks on the radiator support,fenders,bumper,hood,

gave up my konig retracks (800$ wheels) to get the frame work done.the dude repainted my bay, did a ac delete, and gave me a new radiator and dizzy cap. so it werked out pretty good.
