OK, so I have had a few different threads that started as a photoshoot, and then kinda turned into an update thing, so I thought it would just be easy to have this thread as a catch-all for all my updates for those who care, if you dont care I guess dont come back to the thread or tell me it sucks lol... Im aware
Starting from the beginning I bought the car in 2004 with 21k miles, its a 2001 Cavalier Z24 Auto, and ive had nothing but disaster with it since then, such as Nitrous fires, Broken hinges from lambo door shocks failing, Power issues, Fender benders, and lots of things that have put a set back on getting it finished and the cars look has changed a lot a few different times, it started like this..
changed about 4x and different kits and colors but got way worse..in fact it was bad enough that not long ago it sat like this...
..... so that was the point I was fed up and done with it and didnt feel like messing with it anymore and didnt have the money to keep messing with it, but last month I decided it either needs to go back to stock and painted and sell it and get something else, or I needed to try one more time to get it done and then got another Type J kit at a good deal, got a good deal on some Audio Stuff, Found my old hood and got it back, and got a good deal on GM S/C. So ive been kinda working through it and putting my extra money towards it and we are kinda getting there, so heres how its coming
Got a Type J front and rear on..
Then started working on Audio stuff since I got rid of the W7s... picked this up pretty cheap
Then we built a box for it ( still needs carpeted, local shop is booked )
So I went out and picked this up to power it
Then finally got the sides and put them on
Then painted the rims flat black to cover some scratches, it was cheap and something to do, some love it, some hate it... I really like it so that what matters I guess
Then Finally got the CF Extractor hood back on it last night so heres how it sits
As far as the future this baby with 2.5 pulley, alky injection, and heading to skunks to be HPTuned next month I think
Also friday im ordering my sportlines, so ill have pics with those installed soon, then paint and black headlights and ill be hopefully done soon
Just wanted to have a progress thread for the people who pay attentions so each update doesnt need its own, im sure a lot of you wont care either way, but since some of my friends can only reach me on JBO, I wanna let them know how its comin, so def. leave comments if you want to, if not at least thanks for checking it out and hopefully ill have more pics up soon !

Not to shabby there buddy, if you guys need a garage to work in anytime I have a two car at my house right around the corner so just let me know. And hopefully by summer sometime we will all have our superchargers or turbo setups on and running.
Thanks, im sure you have seen how things have been last year lol as far as boost by summer, I hope so.. At this rate Anderson will be the new Michigan as far as boost goes
Are you going SC or Turbo ?
