a stock 98 dx coupe and a min. wage budget - a year and a half later
day after i got it:
not too long ago:
and now:
would have taken more pictures...but the camera ran out of batteries
not too special...but considering every penny that went into this car was from a 16-17 year old's minimum wage budget (working his *** off)...i'd say its pretty decent...not to mention putting it all in myself too
...plenty more plans going into it...cf hood, yellow fog lights,..moldings; door handles; rear license plate holder; side skirts and lips all painted white...as for the engine...i will probably eventually get sick of the turbo d16, sell the turbo, swap the engine...any feedback appreciated.
