Finally got the car back from my buddys shop. Insurance said it was a total loss so I bought it back for 800 plus the deduct. of 250$ In the end I had $3,267.67 to work with.

Glad one of my good buddys is an awesome body man and painter.

'90 GXL
78k/mi
Stock ( next weekend delete the cat for a straight pipe, or just gut the cat, and a K&N drop in will be added also.)

Before:









(yes I know it's dirty)
Still a whole lot of little things to go, Need to get the swirl remover and buff again, re-align the doors and set the windows up again etc... but it's gettin there!

 

Holy **** dude, that buddy of yours has talent!

 

damn that is beautiful.

 

the pictures are a bit grainy but god damn! that looks killer man. Glad you were able to save that thing. it looks amazing now! get you some of those GXL decals again and your golden.

 

Rotarybeat- You think I should get the GXL stickers? I've been debating it. Also been debating the pinstriping it originally had from the dealer option...

Thanks a lot though guys. There's so much more that needs to be done but I rushed it so I could have a car again as I blew the rear end in my truck. With rushing it so I can have a driver again I'm having it while it's not finished so in some ways I feel dissapointed with the job. However, I can't complain at all for the price I paid... But, I still LOVE it! lol

 

Why'd you put those horrendous mud flaps back on? The car would look 11ty times better without them, trust me.

Looks awesome otherwise.

 

Cause I'm to cheap to buy Coil-overs and they make it look lower... Just for the hell of it really. Plus on the right rear they forgot to peel off the old double sided tape so I don't want to have to deal with touching all that crap up... that and honestly, I just wanted to keep it the way I got it. I haven't had it long so time will tell. I'm sure I'll rip em off sooner or later though...

 

wow verry nice. reminds me of my car =)

 

looks good man
it would look better w/o the mud flaps
but meh, to each his own

your friend gotz talent

 

/\ Considering both of the rears are both falling off I've decided to take em off friday and tell my painter to touch it up.....

 

Where did you get your mud flaps from?

 

yeah pictures dont do it justice. Throw some tire dressing on the tires and its perfect.

 

Holy thread resurrection batman...

 

holy **** from '07? LOL

 

you bring a thread back from 07 to ask about mud flaps!?
