Please keep in mind that she is a work in progress so constructive criticism is appreciated but if you just want to be a troll please refrain my posting in this thread. With that said a full write up with pics, tools needed, and tips etc will follow hopefully tomorrow there on another laptop of mine that doesnt want to turn on right now but I think I know what the issue is and will get that up ASAP. Also I'm considering selling her anybody have any thoughts on a fair asking price? I already realize I will never get my money or time spent back out of her just a realistic ballpark.

The wheels look great, the bumper looks great. The head liner is a little disco for my taste, but whatever you're into man! __________________ -PTS- "Some people like cupcakes better.

The rest from what I can see looks very appealing. __________________ | | | 05-25-2010, 05:12 AM | #12 | Member Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: reading Posts: 56 | Quote: Originally Posted by AlphaVortex Looks good!

Here are a few more specifics. I have ///M everything honestly. Vaders, carpet, dash, moldings, brakes, mirrors, sideskirts etc. etc. Motor has 80k on it and the car has somewhere in the ballpark of 150k on it not 100% it was basically a shell when I got it but it was repainted (right) and was a 5 speed. Cooling sytem was completely replaced literally ever sensor I can think of under the hood replaced. As far as performance mods its an s52 complete obd1 swap, 3.5 maf, intake, exhaust, UD pullies, matching software. I'm absoultely sure im missing tons of stuff but thats all i can think of right now. | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | Similar Threads | Thread | Thread Starter | Forum | Replies | Last Post | Dash swap | Platanos | Interior and ICE | 4 | 08-15-2012 06:56 AM | Dash Swap | romanescobar | Knowledge Base | 13 | 01-25-2012 12:03 AM | Another Dash Swap | aznlonewolf135 | Interior and ICE | 7 | 03-09-2010 10:59 PM | Dash Swap? | Viper3812 | Interior and ICE | 5 | 11-16-2007 08:18 AM | Swap ti dash with 4dr BMW? | 3DGE | Interior and ICE | 7 | 10-09-2006 03:41 AM | |
