My Project Pics!

So I've had this FC for about 6 months or something.

Car came with no keys, with a rice push start ignition.
The paint was peeling, and the thing was looking crusty.
The interior was burgundy and nasty.

So I don't have many pics but here is a few.




It was really ricerish, i even got keyed the first day I drove it primed!

Now its painted, new wheels. tires, interior, and KEYS!!!

beautiful paint man.

those arent TE37's but Rota grids. A good looking wheel but it lacks the proper backspacing.

Yup, those are the Rotas. If you guys haven't seen these pics already on other threads. here they are







I'm most likely going to be selling this, I have a TII JDM swap planned, but if I get offered the right price I will sell this car in it's current condition!

The dash was painted by the previous owner along with other things inside. I redid the whole floor panel with new pre-molded carpet. I got the rota's on craigslist in my local area.

if i get good enough offers for the car, i dont want to swap it because i would be investing more money and losing even more. it would just take more time, be a pain in the *** and everyting.

i love FCs but i just need a more modern car. i just dont like the fact that people mess with things like putting a PUSH START ignition, playing with the wires and things like that. i just want a car that's pretty much untouched. so no offense to the FC owners out there.
