    Yea no shit. Check this out:



    In real life the paint/body work on my hood is wavy as fuck. Straight up Maaco paint job by the previous owner. Overspray everywhere. Patrick somehow made it look flawless. If only pictures on the netweb were all that mattered

    SHOUT OUT.

            I've already talked with him and will probably be picking up one of his plates. Those V channels are a big selling point.

              Since your engine is out, have you thought of cleaning up the engine bay?
              Shaving, tucking wires, etc.?

                As far as shaving and tucking, probably not. I've deleted AC and debating deleting ABS. I'll probably clean up a few areas and re-wrap the harness and such, but nothing too crazy - just some fresh paint and general cleaning up of everything.

                This will still be a summer daily driver / weekend tracker. If I make everything too pretty I'll be afraid to hurt it ;).

                  What's your wheel/tire setup?
                  I know the Schmidt's are 16x9 et15, but are you running any spacers?
                  Tire size?
                  Fender work?

                    +1, good question. I'm really interested in what he's got going on with the rear wheels/tires/fenders/suspension. I would guess that he had to, at minimum, roll the fender lips... and run 215/40's with super stiff suspension.

                      You'd be right on all accounts.

                      Speaking of my wheels, here are some horror pics from her last battle where the assholes of Chicago prevailed and sent her running back to her <strike>castle bedroom</strike> shitty 2 car garage in the ghetto.

                        Chuck Norris just finished killing off all babies. He even killed Baby Jesus.

                        That picture hurts to look at. Are you going to try to repair the wheel, or get a new one?

                              I love the wheels. Maybe one day i'll grab a set of them.
