the windows are silver i need something to offset the black.. the little grill inserts in the fenders, and soon ram air 1 hood will be silver to help match the wheels....here are some before and afters also the car will be repainted in january when i get the hood and 4th gen spoiler ... the pics might be a bit big so....i paid 500 for the car.... good deal huh? its got a 305 in it now but am in the process of building a 355 with tfs heads lt1 intake and an cc xe 292 magnum cam 3200 stall and 3.73's... full sus. mods and 4th gen dash swap unless i decide to keep the digital dash but doubt it...

hey are fusion zr1's 275 40 17's and when i installed them.... i think i could have gone 295's all the way around....but i dont know.... i bet even 305's mabye even 315's would have fit.... if u look at the one pic close up of the wheel... u can see where it looks kinda like the tread isnt wide enough....so i think i will go bigger when i have 2 replace them

Good choice on the hood, too many people go with the ram air 2 hood, but RA1 looks soooo much better on thirdgens.

nice car. what a steal for 500

yea.... traded a 95 galant for it... i payed 500 for the galant... he wanted 2800 what a deal lol.... when i got it he thought it was all jacked up motor wise couldnt get it to run right... and i drove it home after fixing the wires.... some were crossed lol and drove it home.... but was still missing... realized that the wires were baked to the manifold, and 5 of the plugs werent even tight... so they were losing compression.... changed the plugs and put on new wires.... PURRS like a kitten

The unpainted insert section of the rims looks odd to me since im so used to seeing that part painted, but still looks great.

sorry bout the mass of pics.... i was sooo excited and didnt have a site to host the pics..... just wanted to get them on...... and i left them silver because of the inserts on the RA1 hood and side vents will be done in silver... and it will have a silver bird put on the rear..... needed something to break up the black....
