thanks to everyones help...my refurbished car

Well i started out as your regular newby. Asking if anyone knows about wheels for our cars, asking questions easily found in the faq. Anyways thanks to the wonderful people on this forum i have become somewhat knowledgeable about these cars. Anywho here is the transformation that happened over aproximately a year. I still have some stuff to do like suspension and exhaust. But my interior and exterior are finished. Thanks to everyone.
