these are my pics of the car (on my wife's cam anyway) and you can see some progress. I didnt like the euros, so i painted them, and ended up buying a new hood, and kept the old one to experiment with the $50.00 paint job on. Comments are appreciated!

 

with that???? it hasnt been washed since for ever! (water ban in tn)

 

Is this a joke?

hell not its edm (ebay dom. market) lol

 

advice would be nice, rather than that crap... and whats ebay about the car?

 

Did you even look at the pictures before you posted them? Half of them are dark as hell. ???

 

those were taken the eve/night we got the car, its just kind of a WIP thread, its not done by any means... Again, looking for direction with the car, and showing whats there... ****.

 

Whats up dude, glad to see another SOL'er in here. You definately have alot of work to go with it, but you should stop by the del sol thread and get an idea of what you can do to the car, good luck man

 

good start but those tail lights still look homo-erotic IMHO

 

What do you want out of it? Do you want it quick or a clean DD?

Get stock tails, better rims and align all the panels for starters.

 

on a budget for now, babies will do that to you, and I have a right stock tail, but the fu#@er at the pull yard broke the left. those are to do until i find one for less than like 80.00. hell, at least they match! Im looking for a quick daily driver that flows. Im not into big body kits or wings, or even little kits for that matter.

I was thinking of going black with the car, and yellow acc lights?

 

the car as is was bought for 500.00, with a motor that had spun bearings, now awaiting a crank. The body panels I can work on, but how do i get the hood to line up right with the front bumper? Its just a freakin pain.

 

Get the tails from a fellow member for $50 shipped. Stock flows best. Start from stock and go from there. Yellow acc lights? Please say no to any yellow lights.

I am less drunk now that i saw these god awful pictures of a blue ugly car.
&lt;---super honest at this moment in time
I apologize

 

uhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

so... i take it no one likes the blue?

 

the right set of wheels would really make that blue look alot better, but for now not so much.

What does the blue have to do with it? OEM tails, panels aligned, a good set of rims and that same blue freshly painted would look super clean.

 

first time i see a painted header

 

It rare (I think because someone that would have the knowledge to buy the right paint wouldn't do it) but it's not good.

 

Not feeling it at all.

New wheels, fresh captiva blue, unpaint the engine bay stuff, oem tails, and clean the interior.

 

Suspension, wheels, desperately needs paint, engine.

 

 

its not the color, although its not in good condition. The car itself looks like ***, and is just

 

alright, since Ive been looking around, so give me an opinion on this.

Since I'd be recoating anyways (and painting a hood) I would probably just do a color change (jams, bay, etc. but what color?

I need a stock tail light. left side.

I think the header would look good powder coated black. What do you suggest be done with the valve cover?

The intake is a place holder, I think Im going to fab an 'AEM' True cold air intake.

The wires need to be tucked.

The car needs to run, So I can wash/vacuum it.

The rims are just bad. I didnt think they were so bad, but as popular opinion states, they reek.
options?

body panels will be aligned, as soon as i have help for holding things/eyeballing.

Hood WILL be painted. Its just a new hood, and It'll keep my **** from rusting while its down.

I need new tint. the end.

the aluminum shift **** is gone. I went back stock.

more opinions?
