4th gen but

its alive!!!!!! after sitting for a long time and needing an engine swap (cracked block) we (me) finally had the money to get all the parts and get her running again, the list of things did to this car is almost endless but its finally riving good and perfect again, all i need to do now is get it insured and then..............my mom can drive it again i know i have a v8 thirdgen, but i feel so attached to this car, i damn near rebuilt it (most of it) and got it all running right again and even did little **** like cleaning it up and recharging the ac, new speakers and a full detail on the engine bay underneath and the interior, new rack and pinion, put in soft plugs which are such a pita. heres a couple shots of her

still needs the passenger seat cleaned and a new shift **** then it'll be showroom fresh, this is the only car we've ever bought brand new and i really want it now that it all works again lol (except for the power windows and locks, you can see the switches are messed up in this last pic) it was kinda weird my grandpa (rip 2001) favorite song came on as soon as i started it up, on a station that never plays it, and i had had the battery unhooked in the car for a Long time so no presets but i igress what do you guys think? did i do good work? lol sorry its not a thirdgen but i love it, even though since 07 its been nothing but a troubling moneypit, i dont even know what year it is, 94,95,96 not sure

Re: 4th gen but

it looks good, runs great, it still could use a good buff,shine and the front bumper needs re painted, when it got tow'd home after we thought it was a head gasket, because of how low the car was the truck broke out the turn signal, its been replaced and works fine now but the front bumpers in need of some love scuffs scrapes and chips are everywhere on it

Re: 4th gen but

Because it's a 4th gen, that's why it's locked
