Before and After

Hey Guys,

Finished the first stage in my vert project a while back, never got the chance to post pics.

I started off with a base 88 vert that was abused, has corrosion, rust, and some technical issues.

Pulled out the NA motor and Installed a stock TII with all emissions blocked off. Did a full S5 conversion on the exterior. Threw in a brand spankin new set of 18's - 8 inch in the front and 9 inch in the rear. Added a shine autosports lip. Greddy thrust exhaust system for now.

Still not done yet, but getting there.

Just wanted to get some feedback on what you guys think so far.

These pics are what I started off with after I did some minor body work and alot of cleaning and detailing.

Regards,

looks great other than the painted intercooler, the fan shroud and the sleepy looking lights. its your car though and you are entitled to do waht you want with it. i'm not huge on the wheels. i personally like the stock bbs wheels but the wheels that you have on the car are somewhat tasteful. the body looks excellent though!

BTW The last time I heard some guy say the word "****" I stopped and looked around only to realize he was talking about my car. He said that is "****" and I was

you non-west-coaters talk funny. I guess it's the same when we say "hella", and "dude"

bwahahahaha! and you were talking about real boobies not the figure of speech! sigh, ok, gonna lay off the caffeine for a while. **** is just too, crude. Breats is too proper. Bobbies is just right. But enough of this useless tangents. let's get back to the point.

After all that work, how could he forget to fix the headlights? The car turned out really nice though. Definitely hella ****.

I was talking to Therest. Go take a nap kid, or take your meds. I'm sure you think very highly of yourself, but why would I go looking for you in order to give you ****??

Don't start something you're not going to be able to finish. The last thing I want is another noob running, crying to the mods about how his feelings are hurt and getting me banned again.
