Today was a huge success. We managed to get all the wheels painted gold and half the cars molding was painted gold too. We also spend $70 to get it running again, distributor, spark plugs, and more. Here they are:

Here is the side masked off -- well, duct'd off.

We took this from a group of sand-railers. Figured it would be a nice touch.

It's very safe to say we get more looks than any car in town already. We managed to have about 30 people outside checkin' out our ride at McDonalds. It was great.

Comments? Suggestions? Keep em' coming!

you guys have too much time on your hands.

the fellas over at vwvortex are loving this.

heres a few suggestions they had... if u havent checked already

Porridgehead:
I'd suggest getting badges from the Ford version of this car and turning it into the dreaded "Tempo of Doom"

VR6Jim:
It needs a huge exhaust tip. I think DTM style, but like 4 of them, from coffee cans, so their like 10 inches. 2 on each side. Cut one on a 45 deg angle and solder them together for that dtm look. That would be sooo sweet.
The spoiler should be made from wood, but paint it to match the car with pep boys spray bombs. Couple cans of primer, then sand it lightly and paint, make it look like fiberglass. Would be wickid.

Cut the spring too so it's like 3 inches lowered. Take the hub caps and cut them out so they look like rims, and make some of those fake cross drilled rotors out of aluminum and put them behind the hub caps but on the outside of the steel wheels, that woudl be pimp. You could paint on a caliper too hahaha. . Make a huge chin spoiler for it too.

Also for stickers which every car needs. get the acctual stickers for the parts cut and put them on the car. BUt like every crappy part you can find. Like Ractive, RoadBoy, Tenzo-R etc.. ahahahhah..

JettaPat:
Thank you! This would have been a prime canidate for an SHO motor swap, I mean, look at it- rust free, fairly straight. $200 car, and you can pick up an SHO motor and T-5 for about $700-800 bucks around here. Even if you have a shop half *** it in there (using 3.0 Vulcan mounting bits) I don't think it would've topped $2K. Now THAT would have been something. Not this lamefest.

keep it up,

 

man i saw part one earlier today and cracked up, keep it up.

 

OMG!!!! That is ******* hilarious!!! "VTECH" in duct tape... BWAHAHAHAH!!!!!

 

offcentered racing stripe up the middle
looks mad phat y0

 

Dude, you have to hang a visor from the rear view mirror to complete it.

 

For the exhaust, I think we decided on an angled coffee can.

I like the visor idea -- i don't know if anyone I know owns a visor though, haha.

Still looking for donations. I don't care how stupid it is, if its a good idea, we'll use it. We plan on submitting it to some magazines when we're done. Hopefully we can get some responses.

Keep the suggestions coming, we've already used some!

 

Slap on a CF hood and altezza's and have the ricers on their knees begging for more.

 

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

hahaha LOL that **** is sooo ricey...hahaha goood job....wonder what ricers think of it....hahaha...

 

make a carbon fiber hood by painting your hood black. Goto a junkyard and see if you can find some stock sideskirts and duct tape it to your car. Put one of those cartoon decals pissing on fords!

 

muhahaha!! much props guys!! that made my day.

 

ya need to take it to the track and make a 20 second pass. Now that will be the funniest thing I would ever see at the track. Keep up the good work.

 

How much for the wing shiped. My zip is 07423

 

throw an uneccessarily large custom intercooler on there and plenty of type-r badges...keep up the good work its going to be quite a sleeper

 

bondo a kaminari style hood scoop on the front, get a dream catcher for the rear veiw mirror, and put some hood pins on there fake or otherwise. get a fake nos bottle and make sure it is visible to all, oh and racing graphics...

 

I suggest you try not to roll that thing. (as in, crash, flip, spin, burn)

 

I think it would be really funny if you stuck a VTECH cordless phone in the car...

Paul

 

I was a little dissapointed to see you still have two windshield wipers.
Please hook up tha gold uni-wiper!!!!

Also, how about 4 sets of multi-sized fog lights?

You guys got any nEoN yet??

 

Damnit! You ruined our suprise. The single golden wiper of death was gonna be on Part 3.

As for the fog lights and neon, this is a LOW budget project. We're happy to accept donations

BTW>> The wing is $500 shipped -- better than any wing on the market.

 

neon costs money, wipers are on the todo list, along with me gettin off my *** to do it

 

When I bought my '92 cx, it had a 6'' blue neon light in the front bumper grill and a blue Honda emblem on the hood.
I'll donate them.
Give me your address and I'll send them to ya.

 

hahaha, can't wait to see part 3. what will they think of next? lol
