well i been working hard for about 5 years now slowly getting my fc put together

started as a fadded gray 4 lug SE 87 non turbo. and worked up to tii full swap. learning each step of the way. everything on my car i have been a part of and know it inside and out now. put so much work into the paint in the last year and it finally paid off.. those of you who been following my over haul know all this already.


far from perfect. living pay check to pay check barly getting by. all you see i did myself, learned and had help, and worked hard for. may not have the best rims. may still need new trim and molding. but you know what. i dont have 1000's to drop into this car. not even 100's. no high limit credit cards, just hard work, saving, and doing my own work to save money.

its a huge achievement for me to come this far

special thanks to those who made this posible.

Good job!

Could you post interior and under hood shots? I'm too lazy to search all of your posts.

 

I followed your paint prepping thread before. I can see the hard work paid off nicely so far. I been going the same direction as you but further behind. (s4 base turning into a full t2) I cant wait till mines as nice as yours. Never sell it after all the work you done!

EDIT: so is your car a he or a she?

 

Congrats Jessica!!!!!!!!!

You have really put a ton of effort and countless hours of work into your FC. It clearly shows. It's gotta be so rewarding to let that beautiful trophy ride home with you... you're gonna look at it every morning when you wake up and every night before you go to bed at feel good about yourself


Again, congrats on all of your hard work.

damn thats freaking clean. nice job! its remarkable what time and patience can do to a car ...(and money)

 

nice, that car came a long way.

 

WOW!! she has definently come a long way! congradulations on the trophy!! mine only got 1 trophy before she died but im very proud of that trophy!! lol..... thank you so much on the props! lol your car looks amazing! and what makes it even better is all the very hard work that YOU put into it.. not a shop, or anyone else...YOU! much like how i did it.. me and my close friends! you make me miss my fc

oh...and my wing looks fantastic on your car i wouldnt have been as happy to see it on anyone elses car!

 

Great Job and it HAS come a long way!! I am happy for you

 

i removed photos of my interior before because of how many people talked crap about my steering wheel. but ya know what. its a very nice leather wheel with inserts that match my cars paint.

i also have some carbon fiber pieces as well as shift boot arm rest and ebreak boot from redline

i am NOT done with the interior. as you can see i dont even have real nice shots of it. not staged well. loose wires and some other stuff that needs to be swapped out to black or dyed.

i do have the lil peice that goes to cover up those wires. i installed it after these pictures were taken.

 

screw crap talkers jess!!! that steering wheel looks great! and so does the interior!! looks like just a few small pieces missing to finish it off! but it has come a million miles from where it was!

 

Congratulations! That's a big achievement.

 

Congrats. I like everything but the wing.

 

what body kit is that gp sports??

 

That is god damn impressive!!!

You really cleaned that car up in a huge way!

 

yep. its gp

 

Congrats! I agree the car has come a long way and the paint looks great.

 

I love the Climate control defeat. Along the same lines as my buddys shaved doorhandles on his "track" car.

 

Congrats...If you was my daughter i'd be jealous. Really nice you deserve that trophy.

 

There ya go suger pie!

 

What's next to do on the list? Congrats

 

that is so ******* cool to see im so happy for you!!! you have a very nice car and should be very proud of your achievements. congrats on your win. keep it up and save for some really nice wheels and you will win every show you attend. beautiful car.
