This is the FOURTH 'cloud car' I've bought, and by far the most loaded and modified. It is a 2000 Stratus ES top-o-the-line model with the 2.5L V6, 4-speed automatic transmission with Auto-Stick, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, Front & Rear Anti-Sway bars, black leather interior, power-everything and so many other factory-installed goodies.

But even better, the previous owner (click here to see his page for this car) spent much of 2006 and 2007 adding modifications, most of which were things I planned to do myself, so considering how much work and parts cost is saved, this thing was a steal at just $2000.

[That's a shot of it after the struts and springs went in. Just a little air 'tween the rubber and the body. And it has settled downward a bit more since then (see the next shot) Nice!]

Ok, ok...so it also had one very unfortunate modification- a recent 'nose re-arrangement'. But my third cloud, a 1997 Breeze, has the parts I need to stratighten this mess out, so it's purely a temporary setback.

First to go will be the above damage. Then I'll toss out the blue looms under the hood (not shown in these photos) and the red painted bits in the interior. I don't care for either of them. Then, *my* modifications begin...(on to Page Two!)
