I just picked this beauty up yesterday. I figured I would get a couple of shots up so that there would be a before. Already have a slew of parts ordered so this will likely be a fast paced project. I will try to keep this page as up to date as possible as I make changes.

First planned major update is Vossen VVS-077 rims and new rubber.

Once those come in and I have them on I'll post new pictures. I am also waiting on new window motors and a relay for the sunroof. Summer is fast approaching and it is a bit of an oven in there right now with no ventilation :). Need to get the car smog inspected and registered as well. Plenty to keep me busy for a few days. 

Primarily I will be working on mechanical stuff at first and make my way to upgrades and tweaks later on. Just want to keep my mind on the future of this project though and not spend any time fixing something to then turn around and replace it.

I got new switches for the power windows and the seem to have alleviated my window troubles. Not an exciting picture but...

Now to find someone that knows enough about the sunroof to get that working. Got a new relay for it and can hear the motor working so hopefully part way to overhead sunlight.

Wheels are on so I figured I would throw up a couple of pics. Came out really sharp in my opinion. Big thanks to the guys at California Wheels (http://www.caliwheels.com/).

Also of note is the new exhaust. Thanks goes to Dick's Muffler Shop in Fairfield, CA for this custom job and the new cat that finally got me through smog testing.

Next week I should get the new rotors on and I will update again. 

So. Brake rotors are on and the guards and spacers are cleaned up. I also got the lettering cleaned up form the painting the calipers recieved. Looking good. Now to get that sway bar finished up.
