EDITED 3/15/08:
This is the project thread for my baby, the Purple People Eater. The plans are to make it a stock appearing "sleeper" sort of car. I got it in March of 2006 and have collectively put 1150 miles on it. I've spent a gross amount of time working on it, I estimated that I've put in around 20 minutes of work (either on this car or one of the parts cars for it) for every mile I've driven in it. The car was not taken care of before I got it, as made evident by the fact that I've been over every single part under the hood of the car and many everywhere else. I wont stop until this car is perfect, which will be a loooong time.
My baby is going to be transformed into a stock appearing street car bent on nothing but total street domination
. Only kidding, its going to be a fun car for me to work on at night and cruise in on the weekends. I'll probably take it to the tracks once in a while, but its largely going to be a fun weekend car.
