Winter tore my car up.. going to be going under the knife this summer.

wtf?! what wheels are those?! haha =P so how did you actually pull your rear 1/4s?

[Petrified.Rabbit]

those are my studded snow tire wheels... soon to be winter performance tire wheels.

i started with a fender roller, got almost 1" out of it, then started with the roller accompanied with a few body hammers, then a BFH a sawzall a grinder and a welder (for the inner structure).


i'm ging to finish it up more this summer.

[Petrified.Rabbit]

on the list for this summer:

body work and paint.
disc brakes
finish ac
eliminate power steering
go over suspension (check abuse to wear limits)

What do u have planned for the body work rabbit?

[Petrified.Rabbit]

well have to see how far i get, but i ned to finish my 1/4s from the pulling, do my fenders fom lowered abuse, i would like to boser the rear lights, and get a rear spoiler. maybe shave the license plate stuff and move it to the bumper or something..

the front bumper still needs replaced, the crack on the bottom was in a terrible spot to try to fix, and it didnt come out like i wanted it.. the shaved emblem looks good though. but easier the buy a new bumper and shave the emblem again than to fix the broken bumper portion.. the car has stone chips all over, so i will probably be painting the whole car.

i would also like to graft a panoramic roof in from an audi a3 or a mini, but that is all cost, weight, and looks. So it might not get done only because it would end up costing 1/3 of the price of the car. and it money toward an engine swap first.

you should black out the tail lights =P
