9/4/10: Well its been forever it seems since I have updated this thing. I got the entire car in primer finally including the front end, so no more green and primer look for me. I was going to paint it this weekend but I am short on thinner and flat broke so it'll have to wait another week. I'll get a pic up later tonight

Make sure your flywheel bolts are tight...last night I was driving the car around putting miles on it when the wierdest sound came out of nowhere. I quickly pulled the car over in a parking lot and popped the hood to see what was going on. My brother in law was cruising around with me and we started listening to see if we could figure it out. It sounded like a loose crank pulley, but the pulley wasn't wiggling. We finally determined that it was something inside the trans, so I limped the car home with my bro in law and my dad following me incase it broke down. Got up this morning and pulled the transmission out with help from my dad. Low and behold 7 flywheel bolts were loose as hell, I'm talking you could pull em out by hand :( Got those tighened up with loc tite on em for extra security. Got the trans back in and everything hooked up, sound is gone and back to driving fine...whew thank god!!

9/14/10: Paint time!!! After a couple months of having the paint just sitting around and the car in primer I finally decided that today was the day to put it in color. Pretty happy with how it turned out, I have to wetsand and buff it tomorrow and ill post more pics then. For now here is a couple pics, my cell phone camera doesn't really do the color any justice as it will not pick up the metallic

Dude it can be done on any income if you are deticated, I don't make baller money by any means. Right now I am making 8/hr, starting school next week and have a kid and get 0 assistance. You just have to know how to hustle lol, most of the parts have been paid for in part by wheeling and dealing "buy cheap, sell high". Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is a nice car, just stick with it and eventually it will get to the point you want it at, just gotta have faith man.
