that is definitely one NICE car. i've wanted to do exactly the same thing (well very similar) since you'd get an almost new car at the fraction of a new car with your custom specs.

job very well done.

Sorry about reviving this older post. But I have added the car to the VB garage and I wanted to make sure all of you second gen owners might want to take a look and rate it on there. Michael

That car is ******* beautiful... I'm still trying to find the bits and pieces of my jaw that just shattered due to the speed at whitch it hit the floor...

I hope your GF did something VERY special for you for hitting your car.

Hi, I just wanted to let everyone know that this car is now totalled thanks to a kid whom was not paying attention. I was rear ended and the car is now a pile of twisted metal.

Aww damnit man I was scrolling down hopeing to see how it recovered from your gf's scrape.

Just curious, what strut tower brace was that? It looked nice and I liked how it attached to the firewall.
