Hey guys ive been coming here for at least 6 years, but I have never registered. I started off driving a 90 Cavalier base model 2.2 manual. I was driving home one night and creamed a deer that came out of nowhere. I continued to drive it smashed up for about a year and a half. Finally the shift cables went bad, and I decided it was time for a new ride. So after about 15 mins. of searching I found a 98 base model 2.2 manual Cavalier on a lot, went on a test drive and liked the car. A few days later I picked the car up from the dealership and loved it. Its been 3 years since that time and the clear coat and paint was starting to come off of the hood (the front end had been repainted), I got a nice dent in my RF fender due to my wife's shopping cart, and someone tore my trunk lock out and stole my subs, and amp. So now comes the present time and I have some pics. I was planning on selling the car and getting a Subaru WRX, but I have my first kid on the way and could do without the car payment. Its still a good car it just needs some TLC. Its really not that bad im just picky. Well heres some pics. Say what you want about the primer but its my DD, and I dont have the money to buy everything all at once. Im a mechanic ya know they dont make a whole lot. Well my plans are to get some side skirts, fix the dent in the fender, and fill in my trunk lock hole, and paint it. I got the Z24 front bumper cover b/c I really like the look of it, with some side skirts and paint it will look really good to me. I still have to get the plate cover for the front bumper but im not too worried about it right now. After its all painted I really would like to get some more horses out of it. (possibly turbo) Ohh and BTW I do all the work myself.

nice car!
pretty clean i see...just get it one color, new trunklid and maybe some newer wheels and your set!
p.s. dont use the "we;re mechanics so we're poor" excuse...we make decent money...
instead use the "Im a mechanic...and you know what they say...mechanics car is the last thing that ever gets worked on..."

Lol, I'm a mechanic too so i will have to change that quote a bit
"Im a mechanic...and you know what they say...mechanics
daily driver is the last thing that ever gets worked on..."
Besides, if you dont have money for parts there is always fabrication- when labour is free the mod budget goes a lot farther
