Well, i bought the car for 440 dollars in early january. So, i've had it about a month and a half and put about 1100 into it so far as it sits in the pictures. Just looking for some comments, i know it is sitting really high, my rear coilovers don't go much lower, i don't know what i'm going to do? oh well. thanks guys

these first two are from monday.


these are from today





let me know what ya think!

 

i think it looks pretty damn slick!!!

 

are those rota's on there?? thats pretty sweet that you got that car looking like that in a month and for around 1100

however im not too fond of the monster tach... . . .other then that sweet stuff

 

the car is pretty tight bangin...lower it some more..u shouldve got red taillights insteaed of painting it green...looks good and fast..

 

the color is unique. its amazing what you've done in so little time. nice job

 

Dude, I can't believe you paid $440 for the pile of crap. While the pics were loading I was in shock that you got screwed like that. But when I saw the finished product I was very impressed. Did you do the paint job yourself and what was the overall condition of the car when you got it? Nice ride.

havok racing....that used to be the name of my old racing crew...nice car though

 

nice beater, i would tare that car apart

 

Man, love the color!!!

 

I love your car...looks like you put alot of work into it..Nice Job!!!
I am looking to get my car painted soon and I have a few questions... Where did you get the paintjob done / how much did it cost you / how is the quality?

 

Looks good, great job so far

 

nice dellys in there....

 

sweet is that like a forest green, looks real nice

 

nice car man! whacha got planned for it? how hard was it to stuff those 2 gauges in that part of the dash?

 

the gauges were easy to put in, just get a 2 1/16th inch hole saw and drill right through it, it took like 2 minutes, seriously!
The car wasn't all sanded down and bondo'd when i bought it, it was totally stock with some faded red paint, and torn up seats, like so bad that metal would poke you when you were sitting in them.
I got the good ole paint job at Macco. it was only 255 dollars with tax because i took it in already sanded and bondo'd. I think it came out really nice. they even did the bumpers and stuff for me.
thanks for all the positive comments, i think there's only been like one "beater" remark but ohwell.
As for my plans on it, i'm a few days away from ordering a b16a swap, and i have the hook up on a b20 block. I'm going for allmotor 12's by the end of the summer, i'm thinking the b20vtech with some vtech cams, and built head, i should be there. thanks guys!

 

anyways..... it looks good.. I too was like damn.... that's a piece of dog dookie.. but wow... you made it look good.. kinda makes me wanna do something like that

 

when you cut those gauges in, did you hit the heater ducts? i had thought of doing the same thing, but was told that it would run into the ducts. do you have some better pictures of the gauges? i'm to much of a ***** to cut them in without seeing it up close first anyway i love your ride! good luck with the b20vtec

 

Glad to see you saw the "car within the car".. .. not many people can apreciate a deal when they see it. For those of us that can envision a finished product really apreciate what you've done to it. My brother and I have never paid more then $1000 for any car... they are all like the "junkers" that everyone sees. If things are always so black and white.. good or bad... then that shows a lack of creativity. $440 is a steal.. and you did a great job with it.

 

thanks again guys. on the gauges, i didn't hit any heater vents or duct, it's totally open behind the plastic of the dash it self. i'll take some pictures tommorrow in the daylight with the gauges in and out to give you an idea. I'm totally happy with my car, Like it's been said, it was dirt cheap and it runs fine, now it looks great, and you cant imagine how well it handles with all the strutbars, tiebar, coilovers, and some new sticky tires.
