The car the day I bought it for $900


My first mod( I cleaned it)

Next I added some Old skool wheels I had layin around (I know some of you hate this but UP YOURS! they were cool back in high school)

Another addition I'm sure many members will flame

Then the very fun 2 day turbo install



My coupe and my brothers hatch

I'll get more pics of the end later but let me know what you guys think ALL comments welcomed
ps- I took off the big white wheels and yes I will get suspension next

Also I will list my setup tommorrow to tired tonight

 

How did you manage to get it for only $900? Good job thus far though.

 

$900....looks like quite the steal!! nice pic up!

 

wow that thing looked like snow plow before. good job so far

 

god damn...that car is still ugly...

The stock bumper still fits like ***.

But...

your turbo setup looks clean

 

Looks good, your OEM bumper seems to stick out far...oh, I see the intercooler now, ha.

 

Took advantage of some kid who works at the mall with me. He quoted the price now everyday after I showed him what I did to the car he claims I ripped him off I almost feel like giving him more money to shut him up. Also everytime I take sumthing off he wants it back like when I changed the wheels he wanted them back, but I told him I needed track tires. when I changed the front bumper back to stock he wanted the bodykit back. All he does is cry but I love my car so there is noway he's getting it back!.....The only thing that worries me is that when I first bought the car he kept asking me if I was gonna a keep it I told him no cause I was actully gonna sell it for a profit but fell in love with it. Then when I did keep it he mysteriously kept wanting to come to my "crib" as he calls it andof course he found were I live through some idiot I wirk with now all I do is worry at night . No room to keep the car in the garage only homemade security stuff to keep the car safe for now

 

I think the bumper is like that because of that big intercooler.

 

Yeah I still have a lot more cutting to do. got a little anxious and threw it on before I was done.
my future plans include
~OEM rear bumper
~OEM side skirts
~CF hood
~Omni power suspension
~New wheels (not sure what kind yet)
I am tuning November 8th so I should have some numbers by then and hopefully some progress

Thanks for the comments so far guys

and Built to Spill I agree with you 100% I have a lot of work ahead of me

 

hehe

so you have those funny looking side skirts and rear skit with a stock bumper??

 

good job so far... and good luck!

 

 

the rear bumper and side skirts still look like crap but otherwise it's cool

 

good deal

 

What kinda intercooler is that? Did it come black or did you paint it black, sorry im new to the turbo stuff?

 

good luck

Good job. But I really think you should do smthing with your new OEM bumper to make it fit properly ...

I love de-ricing projects...it is almost like the car found it's birth right

Coming along nicely

 

Damn, not a bad move.

 

not bad, needs a lot of work still

 

for 900 its worth the rice

looks like it's coming along well, just make sure you do everything right.
