Suspension/wheels will get this car looking great again! I built this car last season in 6 months, touching everything possible, and spending a ton of money not to mention hours doing such. Trust me, I'll be nothing but honest about this car.

new NGK plugs
new reverse light switch
both p/window motors replaced last fall with remans
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.
