OK, here we go! getting ready to tear it down for the winter, and do a whole lot of work. For starters the engine is coming out, need to freshin it up a bit and while its out paint the engine compartment.(the flat black engine bay is getting old!) also got some minor things to fix on the body and either do a repaint or a new paint scheme.
Also the big mod im starting right now is the reverse vertical back doors. Thats right you heard correctly, its gonna be amazing! I will post a couple pics on page one here but will try and do a step by step for everyone on page 2.
The trunk is getting completely revamped also. molding most of it and hopefully if all goes well I will have an air ride set up to put back there also. So as you can see I got a lot of work to do. I will try to keep up with the updates as best I can. Thanks for lookin and dont forget to vote!
Oh yea, Im also putting rear disk brakes on right now too!

ignore the horrible photoshop job but this is the idea of what I am looking to do.

now here is kind of a before and after of what I have to do to the hinge to make this work. Keep in mind this is a lot of work modifying to this magnitude, this is no bolt on job, more like trial and error!
(The rest of this project will be posted on page 2)
