LOL I thought briefly about doing the roof, but some interior trim and the roof are two very different things. Definitely like that vinyl stuff though, its really easy to work with, especially if you use a heat gun.

I was really impressed with the interior of this car for the most part, looks like the previous owner took good care of it. I plan on keeping it that way

used liquid nails to re-attach some clips to the trim around my cup holder. They were broken off and it was loose and flopping around. In other news, I don't have anything in my apartment that dissolves liquid nails

Also I was feeling kinda goofy today so I bought a silver sharpie and added a third button in that blank spot next to the rear foglight switch. Little bit of lighter fluid takes it right off, so I might randomly change it up when i get bored with it

That third button should be called the "kriptonik" button.

You're moving crazy fast Chris! I haven't been here in a week or so and you've done so many things.

When is low coming?

I know right? I'm really excited with this car lol. Me thinks low will come in the spring, doesn't make sense to drop it right before it starts snowing. Next on the list is a 710n, turbo hoses and a chip

^ Spam!

So what happened to the sedan? You didn't seem to be as excited when it comes to modding it compared to now.

I got sort of disenchanted with the sedan, to be honest. It was a 12v, which right there is kind of a downer as far as modding goes. But I never had any money to put into fun stuff with that car because it broke faster than i could fix it. I replaced 6 control arms, front brakes, back brakes, coolant temp sensor, ICM, relays, etc and so on. It still needed 4 wheel bearings, 2 more control arms, a new windshield, a new door, tires, EGR valve, head gaskets, valve cover gaskets, an oil pan gasket, a clutch, a window regulator, and it had 150k miles on it. By the time I got all that **** fixed and had enough money for coil overs or somethin, it'd have 300k miles on it lol

Just made sense to unload it and get something in better shape with less miles that i could have a little fun with and have always wanted one of anyway

Makes sense Chris. I'm glad you're having some fun with this one.

The chop looks good. It's a bit too small for me to tell but you might wanna work on that front tire some more. Also the rear is sitting lower than the front. Reverse rake?
