i have been seeing more and more teg builds so i guess its time to put mine on here, well at least to where i am so far. so here she is from the start.



this is what she looked like the day i bought her





i started with a couple modifications to the appearance




picked up a lower rear and upper rear strut bar



have to take one of the upper.
well i got tired of that advanced auto crap ass muffler so i got a skunk2 turbo 3" outlet

[/IMG]

had to paint the wheels for now they looked like shit being gray so i sprayed some black on





time for some new brakes so i picked up drilled and slotted rotors for front and rear





added a front strut bar re painted the valve cover so it would kind of go with the color of the strut. found a cheap non name header on ebay. just for now. also relocated the battery to the back




had an extra valve cover so i cut off the timing cover and painted with a gloss coat to keep it looking good and replaced it when i did the head gasket

i blew the motor so this is waht she looks like now



get the block back from the machine shop thursday. going to paint it then start the build, i have to get a new radiator support, wiring harness and going to delete the abs system before i get it back togetther, also eliminated the powersteering and the a/c. have a long way to go hope to get it running in a couple of months

you should try to sell your wheels and pick up something oem or just some steelies til you can afford new wheels!

Go with OEM wheels 15" and OEM tail lights, OEM paint. And that moonroof visor has to go..idk if you like it though.

i got it at oreilys auto parts. its with the metallic paints there are a couple diff choices. you have to get the dull looking caos though not those shinny spray on metal wannabe chrome paints. i paid 11 bucks a can.only used about half a can on it. i found some really cool green though at auto zone where i started working my second job, its a darkish green that changes in the light. suppose to be like a camiililan green but it only changes diff green, and there 20 bucks a can. i think im going to get some but dont know if i will paint the valve cover or the head. will see. ill post some pics in a couple of days when i finish painting the block and intake
