My money pit on wheels :-)

Sorry if the images are a lil big..






needs the usual repairs ... dings here scratches there... got a f'd up paint job on passenger quarter panel cus the previous owner used lacquer paint and it spidered competely. and of course the front spoiler is trashed to all hell.. but i still love it..

im lookin to tint the windows, 91-92 high rise spoiler.. and some better rims... ZR-1s maybe or any number of a thousand others that i like... i like my rims but they are old and i cant get the correct center caps for em.. but i paid $0 for them and the tires.

What do u guys think?

Looks like a real good starting point. I'd start by removing those windshield decals. Those wheels will hold you for a while, I'd spend my money elsewhere first.

Dude those rims are Sweet.... if you could change the gay black AR center caps to some silver aluminum looking ones theyd be perfect! You got a good car to start modifying! Im just prayin you dont have TBI! cause if you do plan on a really hard time of going fast!

yea i had the old louvered grill and it annoyed me.. and i kinda forgot bout the fact that i dont have a grill on there.. hehe..

the rims arent in very good condition at all alot of curb rash and a lack of clear coat.. .. i could polish them and then coat em.. but im lazy.. and i would love to shove a nice 350 in there.. but i got the real lack of cash flow problem that has kept me from doin much to this car since i got it.. which was bout 3 years ago..

i dont plan on gettin rid of this car cus i dont think i would ever get as much as i wanted for it.. so later on down the line.. it will get a new interior a new motor, manual tranny.. and a new rear... but till then its gonna stay as it is... as much as a friend of mine who has a 350 tpi (which i think came out of a mid 90's vette) disagrees with me... he doesnt care bout money .. he jus wants a toy but i dont have the money nor time to change over all the goodies.. and this is my daily driver.. dont need a 350 in it.. not yet anyways

Looks pretty nice. I would also lose the windshield stickers. The clear side markers looks very clean. Gotta be a little more careful with that front ground effect though

Looks nice though.
