My $1000 baby the day I drove it home from the salvage yard.
You like that parking garage don't you?
When new carpet was going in...
I don't remember. Only half the interior is back in anyway. Dyed all my seats and trim black and was slowly reassembling it all.
This is why, the only pre-gut interior pic I have.
Here is the actual craigslist ad pic for the car.
^ That's correct. Camera angle was low enough to see under the door card.
Car wasn't stolen, sorta. Previous owner had so many unpaid parking tickets that the city of Dayton had the car impounded. Guy never paid his tickets so he never got his car back. The 3rd party impound lot never closed the window or the sunroof when they had it. It sat on the lot with the two windows open for 2 years. Someone had stolen the radio out of it on the lot and the tow truck had in initially ripped the front bumper off. But the bumper wasn't damaged.
I don't really like this picture or the overall looks of the car in it. Makes the car look like it's 4-wheelin, but this was the look for the last few months until I garaged it two months ago while I work on the suspension.
Front bumper looks odd because it is different then the more popular (for tuning) coupe and hatch bumper. For comparison here is a coupe front end.
And a new sig will come shortly. I am finishing my basement remodel and once that's done I'll finish with the suspension install. Mad pics when that is finished.
The commuter beater. Just washed it up a little so it's presentable again.
Sorry, I am no photographer. Took these a few hours ago after suspension install.n Front was a little too low. Raised it up a half already to balance it better with the rear.
F&F Type 1 Coilovers
Carbing Underbody Frame Braces - front and rear.
Blox Lower Control Arms
Skunk2 Upper control arms - front and rear
Energy Suspension Bushings - Not all of them, but a lot were replaced.
Running mismatched 195/50/15's, Next week I'm temporarily putting the blades on this car as the tires are shot. In the spring it will get some LS meshes powered black or gunmetal (hopefully) with 195/55/15's
While in there I did the inner and outer tie rods on both sides and a pair of new axles to boot.
To keep the thread alive: This will be my car when my buddy sells in the next year or two. Top down blazing through the Palo Alto Mountains in this thing was a blast.
