I love it! I'm in the process of restoring/modifying mine. I'm going for a factory look overall, but I'm still doing some of the cheap horsepower mods. It will look almost exactly stock on the outside, but it won't look as good under the hood as yours. I've ripped out most of the useless stock components.

I like the picture of just the headlight. The paint looks awesome in that pic. Really smooth and clean. Good job overall!
Good job on keeping all the stock stuff under the hood and still getting it to work. Much respect for that! That stupid emissions stuff was driving me nuts so I ripped it all out..

For Captin Lou and Bass: Those headlights are a sealed beam conversion. They have a clear lens and an H4 blue bulb. I bought them off ebay from this guy: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2461077052

For Glazedham 42: That paint is just washed, not even any wax on it as of yet.

Has anyone had those lights for a while and do they stand to the test of time? Are they extremely bright like they should be or does it make it harder to see?

Factory condition?

I don't even think APC was a thought in someone's ricer mind back in 1985.

(fog lights and H4s)

That thing is totalled, dude. I'll take her off your hands . Awww- keep the girl. Make her do the body work and agree to wax the car twice a month until the arthritis in her hands tells her to stop!

Very nice- Very clean interior. I wish I could post pics of mine. I've got exterior/ interior pics- I just can't figure out how to upload them (and I can't figure out how to downsize them correctly- My wife replaced our PC which had Photoshop with a Mac G4 and a bunch of programs that I am clueless on..Damnit).

Yeah, i plan to bitch at the body shop to fix l;ittle things that "could" have been caused by the accident. Also at the same time, i am going to have a few dings pulled and my metal sunroof sprayed silver. It is currently white. As you can see from thie pictures, i acctually made a tinted plexiglass moonroof for her.

Adn cody? what are you tring to say, speak english.
