hello all. sorry i haven't been on in a while but had to give up something for lent. but since i was on last i cleaned up the front floorpans and painted them with some bed liner. it's more of a hard plastic and not the rubber type.

time for an update on my car. i finally decided on paint colors i am going to go with a dark blue and silver. dark blue for the lower half of the car and silver for the upper half since it will reflect more and possibly keep the inside cooler during the summer months. and i plan on tinting the windows as well. but at the moment due to having to change jobs i will have to wait til i can do anything else other than keep gas in her and drive her as much as possible.

yes it was. i have been slowly working on her. i plan on doing the paint next year. so i will spend most of this year doing all of the prep work. like sanding down the rough areas where the paint is cracking and the few rust spots. spry with some primer try to figure out how i want to run the paint lines between the two colors.

i got the tires and rims installed today. i went with 195-60 r15's with a pink sidewall for breast cancer awareness. plus that was the only ones we had in stock at work. lol but they do look cool on the car.

time for an update. haven't really done much on my car since last year. pulled the intake and exhaust manifold off this past weekend. managed to break a bolt off in the exhaust manifold. and have a hole in the intake to patch up due to the fact my wife threw the small pipe that is threaded into the intake under the carb and goes into the exhaust manifold in the trash by mistake.
