is that tensioner even touching the belt?


Looks to be a no. Needs work but could be a very nice car. Whats with all the tinted lights? That just looks odd.

I [SIZE="6"]HATE[/SIZE] those hood scoops...no matter what you out them on.  I've also wondered what those rims would look like on one of these cars....Too bad it looks disgusting :puke:

Too much work for me at this point to get it where I'd like it...

I think I've figured out why some cars end up like this.

If you've ever known someone that can REALLY draw, you know that they've got a keen eye for things. There is a sense of order and purpose to their artwork, and you can (usually) clearly see what they're drawing. It's like magic on paper. The best modern example would be Chip Foose. You can easily get what he's doing and it's just amazing to watch him.

If you've ever known someone that THINKS they can draw, but really can't...it gets really messy really quickly.

Sometimes people that think they can draw will attempt to apply that same principle to cars. In their mind's eye, they've got a vision of the vehicle that they think looks way cool. The final execution might be close to what's in their head, but it's nowhere near what other people are really seeing. Otherwise, stick-on hood scoops and aluminum bi-plane rear spoilers would never exist.

But it takes all kinds...all I can say is, good luck selling this car to someone that has the same inner vision...

Well to build on that comment some cars on here are alot like that. Eric your car is a good example of a VERY well executed ride. There are many others on here as well. Imports are usually really poorly executed. You see alot of guys put little things on their cars and that ruins it if it isn't done right or it may be overbearing.

Well thanks, appreciate the comment.

But that's kind of my point. I have been drawing since I was 2 years old. Can you tell? ;)
