1996 Chevrolet Cavalier

About This Vehicle:

In '96 I bought this car brand new. Trying to be different. With no aftermarket support I had to custom make everything for the car. For example, I was the FIRST J' to have ground control. I know this because we used sleeves from an Acura integra and had custom rate springs made almost a year before GC came out for a cavalier kit. From my custom made CAI to my VSS disable, Everything was made/installed by me. I take great pride in that. This car was a huge learning experiance. Expecialy on my latest endevor, Lotus "chrome orange metalic" paint. Pics will post soon, they speak for themselves.
