As you can see she was in bad shape! The body was pretty straight and the paint was good it was just the interior was shot. She's an adverage 3.0 V6 auto trans. She'll never be a Bently or a BMW, but she'll be close when I'm done!
When I first laid eyes on her sittin' on that used car lot lookin' all pitiful I knew she was the car for me if for no other reason then I saw the potential in her and she reminded me of what can happen if you live an unfair life, he he he.
I drove her home and relized I fell in love! I'm only 'bout half way done but so far I ripped out most of the trashed interior (ie. the head liner was sooo bad on the way home I took the free way and immediatly got off on the next exit because the orange foam from the ripped up headliner created a snow blizzard so bad from the wind I couldn't see the road!)The carpet had nasty sticky stains and holes. I had to open the door from the out side ect.
I replaced the carpet, reupholstered the seats, I've redone the headliner, door panels, back dash, and arm rest in "black teddy bear fur", tinted the windows (tooo hot in vegas to not have tint!) and I decided she sat too high so I cut the springs all around and lowered the front 4" and the back 3" to make her sit low and even. She's about 31/2" off the ground. I put a Raven exhast on her to give her a little throat.
And as a female I am very proud to say I did it my self with a rare need for advice from any guy. My next step is a custom trunk and vertical doors. Right now I just have 2 12's in the truck with a 500 watt amp with a Pioneer deck, and a 7" flip down monitor(no pics of that yet or the trunk). Ive have her now for about 8 yrs and she's the best car I've ever owned. She's pushin 170,000 miles and still runs like a dream. Other then regular maintance I've really haven't had to do much wrench work. I love the fact the no one "really" builds one.
