sure there's a little more I'm forgetting

The "bad"?-
-minor damage from fender rolling (pics couldn't even capture, you can just tell around the lip where it's rolled ever so slightly, minor
-very small crease on driver's fender...paint reflection wouldn't allow camera to even pick it up)...
-spots along door molding (still minor IMO)
-no airbags, A/C, nor cruise control
-driver's p/mirror not working for some reason (worked before disassembly/paint)
-CEL from EGR removal, have scanner and can prove that's all it is...does not affect car one bit
-steelies and stock suspension!

Pics from this past season-






Current pics-
-NOTE THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEN IN WINTER, just pulled it out for pics
-RKSport ram-air hood will be on car, bodyshop has it for paint as we speak
-sideskirts above are still included, just took them off as the 3M tape wasn't holding
-my other half is in Oklahoma with the camera, hence the crappy cell phone pics






$3800 FIRM! I think it shows I easily have that invested, heck I have that into paint/bodywork alone.

95-99 Toyota tails can also be reinstalled if desired.

Thanks bud, it's fun no doubt to do different builds and like I said I've done what I wanted to do with this car, now it's time to get back to driving.

As for another J, we'll see. Everyone knows I'm a sucker for them, and I have a collection of nice parts sitting around right now that some have no idea about.
