This is my daily driver, which I love to work on. I usually do some sort of modification each week, so I will try to remember to take pictures of my various projects and put them up here.

For all of you nay-sayers, yes, I know that it is not a sports car. This is a hobby, and I enjoy driving and changing things about the car. The car has quite a bit of pickup, and draws a lot of attention. I take it to shows a lot, and generally get a really good reaction. I have done 99% of the modifications myself, and never pay full price for parts. I shop around until the price is right. I will try to post links to the places and people that I buy from (a majority is from eBay).

Thanks, please vote, and leave some comments!
