I dont carry collision because of the rediculous $5000.00 they want a year for insurance, so all repairs will be done out of pocket.  Found a parts car in the same color, I will be doing all sheetmetal work but will be having a body shop paint the new front bumper because the one I got is black, in addition to that I will be having the shop weld in the "new" radiator support.

The new parts are as follows: Windshield, hood, grill, LF fender, bumper, both headlights, radiator support, radiator, ac condensor, dash pad, both airbags, steering wheel...probably missing something.

6000k Headlight & Foglight HID's. Not too blue makes the car look classy.

 E&G Classics 92-94' Gold Vertical bar Grille with ornament. A little bit of custom work to get it to fit.  When the sun shines on the gold its blinding

Two 12" Alpine Type X's in custom sealed box.  This set up is temporary, the subs will stay but I will be building a tuned ported box as well as a nice amp rack to show off, aswell as a second battery and some better amps.  Gotta have that yellow top.

Right before I found the E&G Grille, i painted my stock grille flat black, it gave the car a mean look but im going for more of a classy look so the E&G grille is a better choice.

She's got a fatty, looks so clean debadged. Trying to get the gold exhaust tips, and eventually a full exhaust to let that those 32 valves breathe
