Default a pos coupe that's almost done

i bought the car as a shell for super cheap looking like this




cleaned up the engine bay getting rid of power steering, a/c, cruise control. then added some paint



then i put the motor together with a few cool parts...

















got the whole front end painted...



decided to go lsvtec and got some new wheels...







got the motor in







it's getting there...





engine bay mostly put back together.



i like <FONT SIZE="20"><FONT COLOR="gold">GOLD!!!</FONT></FONT>



it's getting close to being done just needs a few things like a hood.
