I apologize for the ghetto quality of my pictures, I can't be bothered to get out the SLR just to grab snapshots of the car. cameraphone pics ahoy.

When I got her. Poor girl was looking a little roughed up.





after a little bit of work. (replaced headlight housings, the Ebay ones were wired like shite, and basically didn't work at all. new valve cover gasket, and air filter, cleaned the engine. not shown yet but done: thermostat housing and new alternator and alternator pigtail)





and then after the debadge, custom grill (ghetto style, will be replaces one day) and hood repaint(only have pictures up to the primed state, still haven't done any of it painted.).






aaaand the SVT sideskirts I picked up to cover up the nasty bit of damage on the PS rocker panel. now painted the same shade of black as the hood is.



a couple of the things I've been looking for:
-SVT suspension, or similarly aggressive. don't want it dumped or stanced out, just a bit of a drop.
-Eventually new shoes for the car. until then thinking I might paint the stockies black or gunmetal.
-Eventually (much farther down the road) I may go so far as a SVT or RS kit swap (non widebody), including st170 lights and grill.
-full body paintjob. going for a flat/matter black. I'm really not worried about resale since chances are I'm going to be the last owner of this one. she's had a long life and i intend on having her go out in a blaze of glory.


hum durrrrr... not sure what else A lot of my mods/repairs kind of happen as needed. I'm kind of hoping to keep this car running on not much more than a select few brand new replacement parts and scavenged stuff.

Edit: Oh yeah, and I am going to scrounge up a pair of OEM tails from the pick a part next chance I get. not digging the altezza/euro/wetf you want to call them bubbley ones. Also Needs a New handle on the hatch, this ones more or less destroyed and falling off. As well as getting all the extraneous wiring and car alarm ripped out, way to much "stuff" going on in the electrical department.
