Here's the car me and my dad are restoring over the summer. Right now, it's my uncle's. He lives in England, so I'll be able to drive it over the summer (hopefully.)

The front of the car, check out that chrome shining. If you don't agree, just humor me, I spent an hour on it yesterday.

Ahh, the sound system. From what I can tell, it is a Rockford Fosgate Punch Sub, and 2 Altec Lansing speakers. There are also 2 Polk Audio speakers in the floorwell. In the trunk there's a Rockford Fosgate 400.4 Punch amp and a JVC 12 disc changer.

The amazing interior, complete with spare dash board on the passenger seat (a very rare option for that year.) It has been mildly customized with an assortment of trash and rodent presents. Maybe I'll get around to cleaning that later.

If you look up power, performance and class in the dictonary, you will get a picture of this, a 1.5 liter inline 4, making somewhere between 52-71bhp (no, seriously, its that powerful.)

Isn't it sad when the biggest thing in a picture of an engine is the box in the background?

7/8/05: Well, the compression check was done today and it came up to show that the rings AND the valves were bad, so were either gonna have a fun rebuild, or hopefully, a GT6 engine.

The rear of the car, better get used to it, cuz its all you'll ever see!! (well, as long as it's a one lane road, without passsing.....ad you can see through the smoke.)

12 disc CD changer, the rockford fosgate amp and the spare tire (that you can't take out, because of the amp being there, but it looks really cool, right?)

Well, that's it for now, maybe more later
