Looks good. Clean, nice lines, nice paint, nice stance. Power can always be added later.

Re: New guy from way down South!

Where did you buy that for your upper radiator hose?

BTW nice looking non turbo. I can't decide whether I like those side skirts better than the turbo side skirts or not.

Re: New guy from way down South!

Wow that's one of the cleanest 1gs I've yet seen. So sad to see it's na

I also love the braided line going from the intake to the vc. lol so un-needed, yet so baller haha. Those things are pretty pricey aren't they?

Re: New guy from way down South!

Very nice. Have you dyno'd it at all? Would be interesting to see what it does once it gets a little tune done.

Re: New guy from way down South!

the local college is having dyno days throughout the summer, $40 for 2 pulls, im gonna wait until i get th 390s and SAFC in before i go out there tho.

the hose covers i do believe came from autozone or advanced? i bought them from some kid who didnt use them.

Great looking 1G! It would be nice to live in a climate that doesn't destroy cars. Now, swap a turbo engine in there

Re: New guy from way down South!

that is very clean looking. you should do a turbo motor swap. I have done 2 of them for myself and sold one of the cars.
