I cut it out and I'm 21... I however bolted some reinforcements in it's place and put in some new hoodpins in. All for the sake of getting my intercooler into the correct position.

Thats cool, last year when I was 15 I got my 85' 12a RX-7 as a project which I fixed up quite a bit and then got a reckless driving ticket in (don't get too crazy!!!). Now i've got an 88' Turbo II as my project, these cars have taught me a lot, and it's a lot of fun. How could you make your hood scoop functional? Good luck with your project, and you should make a cardomain.com page. I agree...10ae white is nice on rice when you don't got lice as a spice to spread on the dice. haha j/k

Im jealous of this kid, i didnt get my fc till i was 19 and im still waiting to drive her. Im 20 now and ill have her on the road as soon as i get my license back (reckless in the minivan) and can save up a **** LOAD of money for NYC insurance. Insurance and gun control make me hate NYC with a passion sometimes.

I also wish I had room for that many parts cars, or even one. i was forced to junk a 87 gxl last year and ended up spending hundreds on parts i could have gotten from her just a few months later. (eg:5 lug swap, bins and frame, varieous tidbits)

I wouldn't call it a skittle car as much as a LEGO car! The look of that thing reminds me of my projects with lego's when iwas a little kid, using whatever color piece i could find.
