Ass shot

This 95 Ford Probe GT I purchased cheap for the condition it's in. It has 84,000 miles on it, with a brand new transmission, radiator, and many other parts. However, it was vandalized, and needs a good deal of work to get it in to immaculate condition once again. There is a sizeable dent on the passenger side quarter panel, the ground effects and door caps look like they were stomped off, the taillights were smashed, the gas door was broken, and the release cables for both the fuel door and trunk were cut so the levers do nothing. It also came with an ugly dark red interior.

So far I've replaced the taillights with ones from a 94 Probe SE, as well as switched the seats from the same car(see below.) I've removed the door panels, and all the panels in the trunk, stripped them and repainted them a glossy jet black, to match the rest of the car.


Look at the damage on the bottom of the door. Damn vandals.

The ugly interior color it came in. New pics of the all black trunk will come soon.

In a couple weeks when I get my tax return it's going to be sent to my mechanic to have anything and everything mechanical wrong with it fixed. It needs a tune up badly, the thermostat needs to be replaced, maybe the heater core.

For audio I've got the following:

Kenwood KDC-128 Head Unit (Eventually will be replaced with one that supports an iPod)

Sony Xplod XS-R1311 5 1/4" 3 Way Speakers in the rear

Sony Xplod XS-V1631 6 1/2" 3 Way Speakers in the doors

Visonik V123BP 12" Subs with Enclosure, and Visonik V207XS Amp for the time being.

UPDATE:
OK long time no update. Alot has come since the first entry. The interior is now 100% black, though alot of it is just painted and needs to be swapped for authentic black panels. I've scrapped the idea of having a mechanic do the work, and instead have been doing it with the help of a Haynes manual and Probetalk.com. So far I've fixed a good deal of electrical problems, thermostat, tuneup and am currently doing the timing belt and water pump. Next im taking out the automatic and swapping in a manual transmission. Then i have these grey leather rears (below) and am picking up the front soon that I'm dying black for a all black leather interior. Once the exterior is in good shape I'm putting on the racing stripes that came stock with the GTS package.

And random but heres the probe I've been getting a good deal of parts from.. his a cement wall going ~130mph and still no fatalities.
