I don't consider my car "ugly" but right now it looks pretty bad due to the mismatched hood. It's getting painted real soon........

what's funny is have 3 buddies with third gens and at one point in time we've all had mismatched hoods!!!

Dude, I really love the way your car looks. Are you keeping that spoiler, cause I think a 91-92 ta spoiler would look awesome on your car.

I hear ya. I got some stuff to do as well, but its kinda 12 degrees outside.
Is her car a 6 or an 8? True 91-92? Looks pretty good, you don't need to do much body work at least.

Its actually a 90 305 TBI auto with a 191k on it lol, I got a good deal on all the 91-2 stuff that I couldn't pass it up. Heh she even still has the Ronal rims from the Nationals this summer. Never got a chance to put them on her 79 Z. lol I have a feeling that they will go onto this car tho.

This is what it looked like when she first got it.

Oh right, from nethirdgen.org, right? I think I browsed through that. That car will look hot with those wheels. Lucky bastard.

Wow. Nice improvement on the looks, btw.

thanks! Actually I'm considering a 91-92 front clip & rear wing, and a formula hood so it'll kinda look like a 91/2 formula.

I found another ugly pic of my car. It's not really in bad shape but it's what it looked like when I first bought it, and I consider it very ugly before the paint & rims & everything else......

everyone i know thought i was crazy for buying such a weird looking car but I saw it's potential...........................

This pic dosn't even do justice to how bad the car looks NOW. I'll get some new pics tomorrow, but after this pic was taken, I added a red drivers door, blue pass door, black front bumper, and the GFX are currently off, and there's body patches all over the rest of the body that's still brown... and yes, the rest of the car is BROWN! Ugh... I'll get a new one tomorrow so you can see what I mean, hopefully it wont be more than another 2 months until I can get her painted.

don't ask to see pics of the rest of the car then.

too each their own.

either way. i had pretty much just finished attaching my harwood 2 1/2" universal cowl today, and i went down to the auto parts store to pick some primer to cover the bondo. sitting there in the aisle thinking, will 1 can be enough to cover a whole hood... or should i get 2.

nah 1 should be enough.

needless to say, i had to drive back and pick up another.
