Well i've been wanting to really clean my car all summer but never got to do the outside very well. So today i gave it a nice wash, my first time claybarring, and a wax. i had kinda crappy light to wax in so i need to go over and get any smudges i missed but i think its pretty damn nice.

oh and i know i need tint

Nice location for some pics! Car looks super clean, and when you get some tint, that should finish it up nicely. I'll be honest about the fogs, my first opinion (when you first put them in) was, "wtf?" But over time, and especially with these pics, I can say I have learn to like them more.

Any other future plans with the car for the exterior? Or are you gonna get the tint and then throw the rest of the money at the engine? :evilgrin:

i dunno really whats next for the car. i gotta start saving money for a house. i'm sure i've told you b4 how i got hosed on my last car and this one is costing me a hell of alot more than its worth. tint is in future, cams most likely, i'm thinking new wheels down the line, if i ever really get the balls i plan on building a nice NA motor 12.5:1, ported head, and trying to hit the 205whp mark or maybe i'll just do pistons, rods, IM, Direct port N02 the future will tell

Yea, I remember you saying something about your last car when we were at the Redman meet. That sucks! Like I said, I think tint will really set off your ride. As for the wheels, I'd swap you my black ford racing EAP's for those. :evilgrin: As of right now they are in 99.99% perfect shape, only have 2 really minor spots on at least one of the wheels. Then just trade those with someone else, or sell those or.........:lol:........first vulture lining up for those wheels :lol:

As for the house, cant argue with that one. I'd like to have my own house too, but I highly doubt I would be able to afford everything on my own. I know my focus would be taking an even longer time to finish. But hey, half of the fun of getting a car finished is; watching the progress of how it got there! Good luck with the house, and good luck on your quest to that 205hp goal! :thumbup:

btw, if you're coming up to Redman in October check the Team MA section out. :)

i did just springs for now. where i have the St the dampers are slightly diff. i do not reccomend it though i hate the feel of it now. than again i don't like these springs either. i'll prolly go with the zxm ford springs in the near future with tokiko dampers
