    Euroization of my '87 is

    After more than 7 years of ownership I'm going to start the "change". I previously had euro bumpers that were painted black w/ a later valance. Now I am starting to gather things to do it somewhat correct. I don't have any pics (that I can find) of the car when I first got, but it looked nice. I then hit a roll of tar paper on the highway @ about 80 mph (it fell off the truck in front of me) and that started the downward spiral. So now it's time to fix stuff. Here we go....
    First pic my car is on the right....

              .... and a few after:

              The car needs a bath and wax badly. All I need now (exterior) are chrome kidneys and a 86-87 euro valance (working on it)....maybe an M-tech1 rear spoiler.... list goes on
              Oh yeah.... now I'm NOT going to shadowline it

                    Thanks for the comments guys. It's getting there. I'm working on the front valence as we speak....

                      She got a bath today but I was unable to wax b/c it started raining:( Oh well. The front valance is just a temp until mid July when I should be picking up the 86-87 euro valence. I have the fogs but they are a little ratty so I might throw some laminix on them for a temp fix until I get new lenses. The front bumper looks a little tweaked, not quite as bad as pics make it out to be. The lip is GOING as soon as I get the new valence. Next step is to start redoing the interior and do the rear fogs. Updates to follow....

                        I love the last picture.
                        It makes me want to hold on to my car for a bit longer.
