Rock chips in HD!

Its been a good little beater.

This happened 2 weeks ago... Still need to have it painted and installed.

 

[StockTalon]

I'm rather happy with the results, even with needing to be cut and polished still. Shot form a can in a garage with nothing near what is needed to paint stuff with. I wasn't overly concerned about it looking good since, the car needs to be repainted anyway.

As soon as I can afford non off road suspension which, is really expensive. I only make 6.40 an hour so, its hard to be fresh.

Its higher than they come from the factory. Lesson learned, don't by cheap eBay springs. The car currently sits at a height of 9" off the ground, measured from the cement to the lowest part of the side skirt. And, that is on non fitting wheels that are smaller than stock and are sunk 6" into the wheel wells. Its a whole bunch of fail from a owner level to car level.

Basically you fail at life is all I've gathered. Good thing you don't take pictures as bad as you "build" cars.

The fail at life bit is 110% accurate.

I suck at picture taking hence why I don't say I am a photographer. Just like I don't say my car is low. People will ask/tell me about my car being low and I correct them every time and tell them its far from low. I point out how, its an optical illusion and the car is literally 9" off the ground. Once I point that out, they change their mind to the correct way of thinking.

Also, I like that "build" part, I know that its a better idea to pay someone to work on my car than do it myself.
