1st time ever posting pictures- winter progress
Friday, February 18, 2005 4:10 PM
PLEASE READ BEFORE U MAKE COMMENTS!!!
Okay, it's a Friday and it's cold out, so I am staying inside. I went out earlier and took pictures of my nasty, un-finished car. It has every right to be nasty right now-- I am in school and I LIVE in my car, so =P... live with it. My car is NO WHERE near finished...NO WHERE NEAR IT! ALL of the things done to my car have been done this winter- it was stock last fall.

As of right now, here is what will be done before summer:
-Finish front bumper
-Finish interior- seats, new carpet, finish tweeding, tweed backseat
-18s or 19s (right now I have 18" MR7s **not on the car-- those are 16s-lol** and since I can't sell them I guess those will be on my car until I find some others)
-YES, different taillights- or tint the ones I have
-molded side skirts after the passenger one is fixed
-Shaved/ Lambo doors (played out, but there aren't ANY where I live)
-Tiburon gas door
-widebody? maybe-- not sure
-shave inner taillights? I dunno what do u all think?
-PAINT!!!!!!!!!!
-whatever else I can think of....

Since the car isn't going to be painted back red red, I am redoing the interior in black and charcoal instead of red and charcoal. & PLEASE look over the front bumper-- it is a big time WORK in progress... needs much much much much work.We've only begun on it-- it will be trimmed a little underneath the headlights to make it fit better.

The car WILL be lowered when I can afford airbags, but not until then considring I live in a hell hole.

Please give me your opinions, ideas, advice-- help me out. We still HAVE a lot of work to do and a little advice and ideas never hurt anyone~!

I agree, it looks like it has alot of potential. What is that black thing next to your old antenna? I think your doing a great job.... can't wait to see it finished.

Tweed interior looks hot! I'd shorten the auto shifter shaft though, that knob is like 2ft from the console! And peel off the blue protective cover on the Tenzo R horn button, it's only a clear laminate to protect it , underneath it will be a nice polished aluminum button. About the sig, you got scammed by Scott Machin using his gf's name, theres a huge thread I started in the general forum about Scott.

LMAO... I'm retarded. I seriously wouldn't have figured that out! I will just keep it on though because I am getting a new one with silver on it next week!
He scamming other ppl too? We contacted a lawyer and we have two lawyers on our side (my b/f's sister and brother-in-law) and they are pissed. The lawyers sent them a letter and a letter was returned saying they didn't know anyone they were talking about. Letter was sent to same address as money order and money order was cashed by good ole bitch Sam. If worse comes to worst, I seriously will find out some physical addresses and find out where some ppl live. Money is money and I am pissed!
=))
oh~ and the shifter shaft will be shortened-- definitely!!!

7 pages of BS, make sure to post, don't bother reading it all unless you like wasting time....

Glad I could help you on the blue laminate, it clashed and I noticed it right away and thought I could help you out, I had a set of Tenzo R rims and the centercaps had the exact laminate.

awsome work with the tweed you do it yourself ??

car will look awsome when done i bet the color you picked out is nice im a huge fan of the metalics

I like the color you picked.

lots of good things happening with the project.

You sounded so worried you were going to get flamed.


Believe me this is not the worst 'work in progress' on the .org

I'd say you're on the right track.. I'd keep those 17's they look pretty good.

good to see you're shaving the handles, considering you've shaved everything else on it.

keep it up, and keep us updated.

thanks

car looks awsome. i started off in the whole car scene with the love of mini trucks, and a nice tweed interior is a must. i love it. the outside is rough, but thats just without paint. should look awsome with that red on it. the only question i have is...did you just fill the keyhole with body filler?...i hope you welded it
