UPDATE: 1/30/2014

As you all probably saw i posted it in the FS forum because i had moved out of my moms place and needed a running driving car.... But i got no serious bites on it so my buddies back home tied up the swap while i had no time to finish it. Thank god for such good friends....

Here's how it sits now, just need to go pick it up and bring it to the town i live in now :D
