I had too much time on my hands today so i figured i would share some pictures of my project. I have been wanting one for a while and everyone around me was upgrading so i figured i would let go of the TII and join the big boys.



How i got it.

Im not a big fan of the body kit look and like the clean look more so some changes were in order. Also you can see it has headlights on again.

Next order of business was the interior. It isnt too bad just needed some cleaning and some tweaking. The racing seats that were there were rubbing the door panels and i would rather replace the seats than have to buy new door panels. New original seatbelts were also put in because they were replaced with 4 point harness belts. Also i like the smaller steering wheel too. The guages for right now can stay there but when the car hits the road the 3 guage pod that goes were the center speaker on the dash is will be on order.

Next up was suspension and brakes. The stock shocks, brakes, springs, and brake lines were replaced with Tein springs, KYB adjustable shocks, SS brake lines, and new disks and pads.
