That was step one, I still need to do the wheels(obviously), engine, and interior.

Ill make this a log!

Picked the car up about two months ago, knowing it needed a distributor. Fixed that, and it still didn't run. It had fuel, spark, and compression so it had to be a timing issue. SCREW THAT! I shipped it out had that done. I also replaced the mangled fender with a straight one.

Got the car back yesterday, finally(long long wait for a timing belt/water pump change). Wheeled it out today, so it has some shine. Though, I needs a claying of the light year done to it. I'm lazy though. Also, installed the stereo. Just a small well rounded get up. Polk DBs front and rear, Kenwood Excelon headunit, Alphasonik 5 channel amp, and a 10" MTX Thunder 8000(yes, old school). I also ditched the cold air intake on it, for a stock intake set up.Being a daily, I don't feel like having an intake 3" above the ground. Tomorrow, Ill replace the headlight hinge assembly, and put the clear corners in.

Next up, is lower it, paint the roof and mirrors satin black. Some time later, I have some ZE valve covers, and intake manifold I need to get powder coated. Just so the engine bay always looks clean.

The wheels didn't clean up as good as I would have liked them to. Ill try scrubbing when I feel ambitious again.

Put in the corner markers today. Also figured out how to replace those driving lights with projectors. I just need to modify the brackets now.

I can do the same for others, if they would like their car cleaned up.
