Face change

2006-02-28T12:15:00.000-08:00

it had begun! she is slowly changing.. but for da best so i cant wait to see her finished...the front part would be replicated perfectly coz there are no issues gettin da curves.. but there is a problem at da back....fingers crossed

2006-02-15T10:53:00.000-08:00

all my friends say dat my car got a muscle beat to it although it aint a v8... well sometin went right and my beat is very unique and im proud abt it... not like these new age honda civics with da rattlin sound of da beat barrel hittin da flowboard with da amount of vibration genetated.. mine is more ...hmm ok not as base as a subaru and not as squeeky as a civic either... its music to ur ears...

Wheel spinin

2006-02-15T10:42:00.000-08:00

Better lookin front end

2006-02-15T09:46:00.000-08:00

Well had enough of da silver grill and painted it black... oh and if ur wonderin wat happened to da silver stripes dat went all da way, well after i knocked dat biker da paint was pealin of from that area and i wanted to be creative while hidin it... since i got no more bumper got a mesh behind da frame dat was showin da radiator.. got rid of da plate coz it had no where to be scrwed into so got it sticker cut.. notice da neuspeed sticker decal... did it myself

Knocked a biker!

2006-02-15T09:31:00.000-08:00

well i was anoid with someone and tried to make a U turn without lookin at opposite side traffic and while i was turnin half way this guy in black in a black bike came outa no where! (of course it was around 5.30 in da evenin.. but dats beside da point) well da next thin i knw i hear screachin breaks and bam! he hits my bumper and didnt have enough momentem to fly over my car so he was not wounded .. although his fron tyre was not a perfect circle anymore.... my bumper got bent and i got rid of it.. actually it looks better now... oh and da fog light went along with it.. didnt like dem anyway...

Got my bonnet thrashed!

2006-02-15T09:14:00.000-08:00

see da patches on da right side of da bonnet? yup dats wat a road-side three wheel repair shop had to do to get da bonnet straightend after my friend knocked my car into a rear bumper of a pajero in traffic! well its not all his fault coz i forgot to tell him abt da brakes being not dat effective..

Better ass! dont u think?

2006-02-15T09:07:00.000-08:00

painted da rear light frames silver as well... da paint job was not dat good (since it was a cheap one!) i think they sprayed a bit of black on da left light set and now its a bit darker dan the other one...

New front

2006-02-12T01:45:00.000-08:00

Dressed in black

2006-02-12T01:43:00.000-08:00

a god damn bus driver wacked da side on driver's side...it was a hit and run... since da silver paintjob was not dat neat alround got a full paint job done after fixin da dent... dint have much cash so got a cheap ass two coat paint job for only 12Gs.. not bad ha? well it had to be black coz i couldnt imagin my car with any other color... oh and i got da alloys painted in silver in da process and got silver stripes on da spinal cord...

Steering wheel

2006-02-11T23:58:00.000-08:00

well it was ok... coz it had dat vintage look dats needed for a 1976 mustang... but those days i was not interested in doing a full blown convertion.. ended up putin a sports steering...and if u can see da peddals they are like freakin banana peals... well got down silver sports peddals from singapore to solve dat problem..

A/C unit

2006-02-11T23:53:00.000-08:00

dats da a/c unit on da left .. only two wents providin exclusively for da drivers partner... wat ever reflects off from da person is up for grabs... can u see da gray cover on da dash? dat was there to cover da holes on top of da dash and i didnt see dat b4 buyin da car! can u belive it? i totally didnt check under dat... well i took it off coz its better off wit da holes dan havin dat cheap meterial on it...

Hand brake

2006-02-11T23:48:00.000-08:00
