NIIIIIIICE. Yup fix that door when ya got the funds bro. Like all the emblems, and the wheels are KILLER.
 
Get a pic or two from the angle of front driver's side corner, but turn the front wheels so the face of the wheel faces the camera not the tire tread! I wanna see it like that :D it'll look even better.
 
That's gonna turn some heads for sure...

After the Test Drive the other day mechanics said it should run 12s on a good day maybe 13s on a bad day.

First thing I said when I saw the first pic was  SON! It looks amazing out in the light. I dont mean to be harsh after a compliment but now you can see all the body flaws. It looks like the car has been a DD for about 4 years. The paint inside the front of the door is chipping. But like you said it was rushed.

Still looks amazing. The rims really make it all come together. I really Like it. Never thought it was going to look that good with the black. What happened to the bumper?

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

It does look good. ALot better then I thought it would. If it doesn't bother you, don't let us bug you. Do your thing.

Thanks i will do lots more stuff to it hell its still a showcar form a few feet back.

More pictures in like a week or so getting a Tach with a shift light since my stock tach does not work.

Gotta Go you guys take it easy and keep fixing up your cars as well everyones got their own style Even if your in mid project just make sure and have a overall concept for when its done so that way you don't gotta be mad when you got something half way done or more.
