I purchased my car on March 30th 2013 and since then have been very busy getting it to where I want it. So far it's been all looks with a few minor performance deals so I figured I would throw up a quick thread of the car.
When I bought it
Had rust, few dents, lots of scratches but 180k with a new injection pump and all papers.
Needless to say I saw the light in it so I picked it up.
That night it came home I spent over 2k on parts. Headlights, taillights, market lights, intake, arm rest, isspro gauges, wheels.
I had a vision of the car and how I wanted it so following weeks I had windows tinted 20%, debadged, new front spoiler added, spare key made, fixed check engine light, grille and did a full stereo install. It's been constant nights spend on it but its finally getting close to being complete.
Then I had an exhaust installed on it. 2.5" turbo back with a 3.5" tip cut out in rear spoiler along with taillights and custom paint touches.
This was up till this weekend. Car was scheduled to have a full brand new paint job, same color. So, I decided to strip it for the body man.
Since paint is being done right now I'm currently up to date on the car. I haven't owned it for 2 months yet but I'm averaging 49mpg constantly to work and then since its this far a new southbend stage 2 endurance clutch was ordered.
I simply love the car and can't wait to show you guys it completed.
Future mods are to do Bosio 520 tips and a Malone flashzilla with stage 2, 1.5 and Eco tunes. Goals are 60mpg. I have also talked to my turbo guy and he wants to build a vnt17 hybrid with a billet wheel and all the goodies. Possible upgrades.
But that's so far.
