Car show pics and other project car pics. 56k no no

I was just going through my comp. and noticed that I have alot of car pictures so I figured I would share. Enjoy!

Clutch swap




Newest project. 96 GST when we first got it.


2gb headlights and Bomex kit


Stripped


Taping


Me priming it




Going stock. 2gb front and 2ga sides

After:




Remember the Turbo Geo? We jumped some ditches with it, blew it up, then wrecked it into some trees, and then done our part to contribute to the recyling effort....crushed it.


My civic


Thanks for looking.

Its the infamous "Home Depot" lip, or "Lowes" lip in my case. Its some kind of rubber garage door seal weatherstripping deal. Just 2-sided taped it to the bumper.

Yeah dude, Thor likey. I especially like the GST project, looks like you guys did one hell of a good job rescuing/saving that poor car.

Thanks. Yeah its still a work in progress. I still cant believe how great the interior came out....did you see that carpet??? But on the whole the 2 tone grey turned out to be the perfect color combo. The car cranks and runs, but has a busted tranny.

WOW. What did you use on that?! The carpet in my Cavy is just nasty and it would be sweet if I could clean the carpet (and the seats too). Good luck on the tranny swap. Is it your car or a friend of yours?

Its my good friend's car. Its the same guy that owns the 240sx and the black sierra. Im not sure what he cleaned the carpet with. He cleaned it on a day that I didnt help out. I know he used the pressure washer....I will have to ask him what kinds of chemicals he used.
And yeah, he bought a tranny off a guy on the internet, but the guy gave him the run around. So basically, my bud is $500 in the hole and still dont have a tranny. Anyways, paypal is supposed to be refunding the money.
This car has kinda been put on the backburner for the past like 3 months. I think hes loosing interest in it and wants to sell it, but Im trying to convince him to keep it.

Just got mine on yesterday, I put it on the opposite way from how you have it VG. I wanted that little flat peice on the front. It looks pretty good for like $12 or so.
