Fix your headlights.

Are you kidding, dude thats better for aerodynamicy.

No E-brake handle? SW Tach?(Bah, Who am I to talk. Just wait until I get my car up on here. It's all ratted out.) At least he has all of the Pedals including the Dead pedal! I like the assortment of speakers as well. Tweets up top on door panels must sound nice.

Good job on the paint though.. Next mod = Chain Steering Wheel.

JK, what's the next mod you're doing to it?

Don't bash too hard guys. Remember your 2nd car? I'm still in high school, making 6.25 an hour at Target.

I bought it mostly how it is. Wheel, gauges, all. I'm slowly fixing it up, on an extremely tight budget.

The biggest issue is out of the way, which is a low compression, abused motor. Jake rebuilt my whole motor, so I won't have to concentrate too much on that area.

Next up on the list are leather seats and matching door panels, new tires, fix the exhaust, hand brake, and a lot of other shit. The hood's going to get replaced with a new oem style CF hood. I just gotta get out of high school and work full time, then there'll be more progress.

P.S. If anyone wants to help out the project, donate by taking a peak at the amps I have for sale.....:P

EDIT: I like the sleepy eyes....sue me. :)

No matter how much you make, its always going to make it a tight budget. I make $55k a year and im still considering myself on a tight budget.

The more you make, the more you spend, deadly cycle.

As a matter of fact, it's my current car :) I'm a full time college student working 14 hours a week. Granted, I worked while I was in highschool to make some bank that has definitely helped fund my car. My advice for you is to A)sell your car for $2000 now and save yourself from losing a ton of money over the next few years, or B) get a new job that doesn't pay shitty.

Not bashing at all just to let you know.

Still what paint did you use? I want to know because I am going to turn my wheels black as well.

[123abc]

I just used regular old spray paint from Fleet Farm. Semi gloss black.

I plan to work full time this summer at Target, so we'll see how the money is then. Should be enough to satisfy my needs.

Mr98GSX: Some of us aren't as lucky as you to only work 14 hours a week and be able to support yourself. Every two weeks I'm doin roughly 40-43 hours.

it's a start, and be ready for your drivetrain to blow up (if its awd and u race the bitch).
