you need springs BAAAADLY!


I have springs,I'm waiting until I replace the strut mounts to install them.Hopefully in the next few weeks.Since I deleted some stuff,new exhaust,and 5 speed,the Sport really sits up proud doesn't it?

As far as trim you guys,only if I can find some REALLY nice pieces without cracked chrome.

no pic yet,but one's coming.I removed the charcoal gray pin stripes today that were almost invisible,and replaced them with "black stardust" 3M stripes.They are much better than the Autozone/O'Reillys type stripes.They look great....and you can actually see them.LOL.

Vinnie you've done it dagnabbit you've done it!  you basically stole my dream out from under me.  if only i could drive it.  PLEASE post more pics.  you probably wouldnt agree which alot wouldnt, but i'd say get a dark green tint.  no im not talkin yellow honda civic with yellow tint deal.  you know the mint green tint that comes factory on very high end cars?  that, but just a bit darker than stock, like 5% darker or less. :makefun:

:deal: its in the details, the details! :deal:

Thanks a lot,I appreciate the great comments.I agree about it being in the details,but green tint won't cut it.I want it typical black to match the rest of the black trim.Subtle and understated is what I want.Other than the exact color choice (which has now been decided obviously),everything has been planned from the beginning.I had a mental design,then wrote everything down,what I have,what I want and need,and what I have to assemble/install to make it happen.I'm just following the instructions now.LOL.

At this point,the Sport will probably remain the same for a while.If I go body color with the trim,that will also mean re-painting the bumper covers.No way.I'm pretty happy with the car right now,and also like the black trim that is there to break up all that green.

I've been talking to Antonio about the calendar,I may not be able to get the Sport in it.It appears that my pics when I take them are too small.Gayle tried up-sizing the pics through our Kodak whatever on the computer (I have NO idea about this stuff,so don't try to explain it.LOL),and we'll see what happens.

I hope he can.I had to send him my info on the car.I looked at the rough draft of mine,and I think it was either Zonda's or Kingcar's info there.We should be good to go now.

I'm making progress.....very slowly.It's been a long ride with this car.Especially since I won't spend any money from our paycheck to build it.I have to be resourceful for sure.
