goodbye hatch. hello VERT

I said I sold my hatch but never mentioned what I got in the process...picked this up from a friend for $175 running. No I gave him the wheels back and yes the fenders were cut with a saw.


Forgot to mention this is how I got it started = extension + cables


The car had a FC strut on it because he decided it was a good idea since he put the coils he had on his new FC...great idea right.

The new JEEP as well. I had a Dodge Ram but I sold that too. I like to dabble in some audio as well. Temporary box.



We have all seen the usual install of coils, etc. and it only takes me about ten minutes to do it now so I don't stop to take many pics anymore but I have my Stance setup with Megan arms from the hatch now on the vert



The front end swap in progress...



Install Coming soon...

Those wheels are bad ***. I like taking a 240 and making look 10x sweeter in just a couple days and making the previous owner jealous. HAHA.

lol, green fever?

Next you're going to paint the body lime green, and then your going to get green neons, and green seats, and green steering wheel, and green dash... you get the point.

The idea was to paint the car lambo green but the paint was too much so when we looked at the store they had a cheap can which was enough for the wheels so we tried it out...then just joked about using the rest on the valve cover and said why not.

Not sure what I will do with the whole car since the wheels aren't mounted yet but I'll see. But I don't want anything else green. The interior will be probably white or something simple.
