Tell me what you think, next mods inline: Neon Rear disc conversion, motor swap, new suspension and unroll my skirts, oh yeah i also want to put a 95-99 ls rear bumper on it (canadian z24 i believe):
For those of you who don't know me my name is Mike, I reside in Kissimmee, FL (Polk County) and Im part of Daily Driven Kustomz
Many of you may know me as Torres from J-body.org or krazey on clubcavalier before the server crash.
I have received many questions on my car so I felt it was time to show you my project, I hope you enjoy and feedback (positive or negative) would be greatly appreciated. Thx guys, enjoy!

Car as she sits (minus the interior i just redid):
had to rock blue steelies for a month it was the worst
Should I??:
New Fogs Finally!!!
Mellow Yellow:
Well that is all for now, new pics of interior coming soon, and Ill update this with any projects that I do, I have one coming up this week, ill post for all to see.
who the hell would drive a teal cav?>
me !! lol
its le mans blue i'd have you know! lol
Ive always loved the color on the corvettes so i got it done on my car :-)
looks great thank you for not putting a huge front bumper on.
i say try the badge if it looks bad take it off.
once again great job
wow nice car for $500, definitely like what ya did now ya just have to do the eco swap for sure. those blue steelies are so hideous Iol
i dont hate it!
loving the sunfire real bezel. more pics of this please!
I'm tired of wasting my time... now I'm breakin' free.
Ha thanks guys, more pics to come soon, Im hoping to get some rolling shots tomorrow. I wanted to do an Eco swap but its a 95 and I've heard nothing but horror stories with that swap on a 95. You know what they say, "Never get the first year of any generation" the things in this car are totally different than the 96-05, you have to see how big my ABS module is lol!!
For now my plans are an LD9 swap, if I could somehow by some strange miracle find an ecotec donor car for dirt cheap then I'll do it.
I actually just changed the rear sunfire bezel, I deleted the inners on it and it looks tits I'll have pics tomorrw, but it is going to be removed, I am going to vht the inners (when i get a new bezel from the junk yard tomorrow) and have the inners act as a third brake light...this will help me get closer to converting my interior from tan to black/graphite, like i said more pics soon, interior pics too!
Thx for the feedback guys
Nice, reminds me of my car.

M45 + LD9 + 4T40-E, GO GO GO
look for an ecotec from car-parts.com. you can find the motor, condition and any other part of the car from there in and around your area with prices. goodluck and great looking car. first couple pics had be goin oh no. but you saved it nicely! lol
looks good man, very fast progress.
Hmm I'll see about the Eco cuz I really love those motors and would prefer it over the LD9 (even though its way better than my 2.2)
Thanks CLC, I just have some things to fix up here and there, hoping to have almost everything done (maybe not the swap) by the J-show and before we go to the bash.
its nice i realy like it must be nice to be in florda rust free cars lol
I thought that looked like le mans blue. I really like where this thing is headed. I'm not really a fan of the black 'lip' around the bumper though. Other than that, nice sig.

Overal looks good. I think it needs side moldings, and loose the sunfire bezel, but still looks good. Has come along way in a short time.

Not really feeling the sunfire bezel, I'd get a CF trunk and hood to go with your teal/black theme.
Otherwise, lookin good man. You turned that car around.
i like what yourve done. i like the sunfire bezel and i think the badge would look good also. the color of the car is tits IMO. very nice build!
i just deleted the inserts on the sunfire bezel and it looks tits, Ill show u guys soon
Nice ride.
Project Resurrection is in full swing!

CF trunk is very very soon on the list, im just focusing on performace and suspension now, 2 things I have let pass me by in the past, my engine bay is a mess now!
on another note here is what i did the other day:
I have a new hornets nest that I have never noticed and i had about 3 or 4 land and die in the clear coat and smeared stuff everywhere, I was PISSED!!!!!
So heres what I decided to do:
I love the way it looks but I have come up with another idea.
In Florida depending on how new your car is you are required a third brake light, I have a z24 rear dash I want to put in (cuz its black) and I do not want to cut it to fit my light and I do not want a spoiler on this car so I have decided to pick up another bezel (still searching) and vht it (its actually another company i use, vht fades, or so ive heard). I will reblack it out and the inners will only be seen when I press the brakes thus giving me my THIRD BRAKE LIGHT, w0ot!
Lookin good, I dig it.

man yours is hott whitecavy, that intercooler makes me jealous all the time.
I have seen Z24's with the tird light in the rear deck, but they don't enforce that law anyways.
Sorry still not feeling the bezel. I think it would look better without, but still liking the car.
