    And Some up to date pics.






    And just a neat pre paint/wheels/frontend/alot of other stuff pic

            Saw your car on cardomain I believe, amazing man. I love all your work done to it, may not be as flashy as some but honestly your bling rims finish it off nicely.

                You should remove the right inner headlight as well to use as another intake for...whatever you have under that shiny hood. Looks akward and not symmetrical.
                Nice ride, though.

                  Amazing work. I am guessing you had a donor car for a lot of the parts? All it needs is tucked bumpers now. The painted black bumpers look so awesome! Makes an early car look good. Again, nice work.

                              Nice work man. You really saved that car. How come you spent money on paint when you could have done more performance type mods, when its a challenge car?

                              And the SSR's are always a good choice.
