This is honestly my dream car. Some people may say a Lambo or ferrari, but i would take an eclipse any day over those expensive exotics. I love the body lines and how it just curves all over. I had a 1994 which had some issues so i got a 1995 which also had some BIG electrical issues, so i traded it in for a 2003 Celica, but i just couldn't get myself to like the celica as much as the eclipse and it just wasn't the same. I wanted to go back to an eclipse, but my husband and I got married in 2004 and 6 months later i got Prego so i had to just go with the mommy mobile. Now that my son is bigger we decided to finish our other import (92 Toyota MR2 turbo), and I wanted my eclipse back. I went online and found the perfect car for me. It needs some work, but i can handle it. I know, I know, I really need to put some deep dish wheels, but its so late in the season now i will probly wait until spring and just work on rebuilding the motor with my husband. Let me know what you think I should do to the interior because as the pics show its not fully finished... Also check out our myspace page for updates...

The paint is house of color custom candy red and has a lot of metallic flakes throughout. The person who painted it did a great job. Everything from the front bumper to the rear bumper is completly molded. Which looks completly awesome, unless of course you don't like that kinda thing, but i think it gives it a very smooth look.

Here is a close up of the paint, hopefully you can see the sparkles...

Also it has this crazy tint that sparkles, I didn't do it, but let me know what i should do? Keep it or strip it? Answer my POLL up top, i'd really appriciate it....

As for the interior, all of the trim panels are painted the same color as the exterior including the whole trunk. It has some white accents and reverse glo guages so once i start getting to it i will add some more nice stuff to the interior.

We are working on getting our MR2 done, and once that is finished i will get to start on some mild engine stuff on this, as for now it's under construction...Pics below, we took out the motor and will rebuild it. I have a ram air intake to replace the stock air box and also ordered a DC Sports header and downpipe. Not sure yet what else i will do but i will keep updating the page as it gets done.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION....but still lookin' good
