done for the winter...finally!

well guys, all my plans i had for this year are FINALLY complete. i had the rough spots repainted, i had the interior reupholstered with new leather and carpet, i got myself some Z28 floor mats, i put a new top on it, i got new wheels, and TODAY i got the windows tinted!

i'll have pictures of the tint up as soon as i wash it. the only thing is that i can't roll down the windows or clean them for about a week so if i wash the car the tint will get messed up cuz it leaks a lil' on the windows. In January i'm getting a new set of weatherstripping from Year One or Hawks, then i'll have a near perfect car!

pictures are coming asap

the transmission? as in a T5 swap? i was thinking about it cuz my 700R4 has been slipping lately. but it doesn't do it as bad anymore so i'll probably run it till it bites the dust then just get a new 700R4.

and i have pictures of the interior, it was done this past summer many of you have already seen it but here ya go anyways! i can take more after christmas cuz i'm getting a digital camera for one of my presents
