LOL I dont know if that counts to a dirty old beatup looking bay though.

I just choose underbody although mine is clean enough to eat off of, I should have had an option for none, ah well dont think I can edit a poll.

honestly, my car doesn't sound that great. I think thats my first priority right now......not sure if it's the exhaust itself or if the engine just needs a a good tuning. it sounds really metalic at high rpm. like someone tapping it with a hammer or something. anyway thats where it needs some tlc. my burgandy interior is fading and that looks like crap too tho. half burgandy half puke brown.

running gear is solid in mine (engine gear box shocks brakes ect.) but the body and interior are definately rough paint is good in most places but the rust holes around the passenger fender look kinda bad that and I think the bumpers are off a different car and didn't get painted with the rest of the body. the interior is in good shape short of the grinder dust covering EVERYTHING and the large stains under the seats. But I'm more worried with covering the rust holes in the fenders at the moment once that is taken care of I will clean up the interior. gotta love a project car

My paint is rust brown, and faded. My driver side door is white, and from another car. I am bringing back the 2-tone style like nobodies' business.

My body kit is broken up, paint is faded, there are a few rust bubbles under the paint (not too many), my wheels are pitted from brake dust sitting on them (I know I should have cleaned them), tint is fading, and the few stickers that are on my windows are faded and peeling off.

But, it still runs strong and drives well. Need some new struts in the rear, though.

The only that is really wrong with my interior is that all but one of the tabs on the shifter plate are broken, and the padding in the driver seat is basically nonexistant. Heh.

Other than that, she's fine. Heh.

I have to say my underbody is nobody's business. Its as solid as a brick wall, but doesn't look the greatest. Oh well, not much I can do about it now. The exterior isn't too bad on my car. Paint isn't too bad, some rust. I have repainted my rims (working on getting tires). Engine bay isn't the greatest, but it looks OK. I will let other people see it. The interior could be better too. But I am REALLY picky about the interior. I have to look at it while I am driving, so of course I am going to be picky about it.
