Default So I'm starting over.....
Well after months of my car sitting I finally started the long process of an upgrade/overhaul. Now i have a few plans and ideas but I guess I will let time decide that. But the main things are having at least 600whp on pump, new paint, some shaving and lots of cleanup....here's what is going on now.














Now the car will have a complete 98 nose with fogs, grill, glass highbeams, even fenders. Still need to take everything back off to hide any wiring and paint the inner fender wells as well as lining everything up. Should be a fun project again :-).

Someone on the forum needed fenders and a front bumper so I sold them to him. I had the color he needed

That's me! Everything are still in the garage waiting to be work on.

So what color are you going to re-spray you car with?

I was thinking of spraying the same color or surprising myself it will depend entirely on what I spray the engine bay.

i hope so. The first time i started gathering parts for this project they were stolen from me. So this time I'm praying nothing gets lost or stolen from me.

I'm still debating on these wheels......The plan is to sandblast them and powdercoat them... still up in the air. Not a big fan of chrome but the size works
18x10 rear 18x9 front zenetti vegas..




Also got another exhaust setup lol. Another Apex'i N1
