My roomate finally got me to make one of these things... so here we go. I bought my car last June and originally had paid $750 cash for it. When i got it, it was in pretty bad shape, the paint was chipping and whoever owned the car before me decided to try and paint over the red and make it black... and failed at it. Its a 99 GT and had about 216000 miles on it when i got it, and still ran like a champ.
Heres when i first had gotten it, doesnt look bad in this picture... but it was bad.
Heres mine next to my little brothers GP
One day me and my good friend Austin (Austins01GP) got bored and decided to sand my car down and get it repainted... Heres how it looked underneath all that black paint...
After we had finished sanding it down (in the freezing cold) my dads good friend has a paint booth and said he would paint it for us, we just needed to provide the paint. I ended up getting real expensive paint, like $320 a gallon, and it was called Crystal Effect Black and I loved the way the paint turned out...
After I got it painted I invested some money into the looks/ performance parts of the car... I got some 18" rims for it and put exhaust on it, as well as getting it tuned by Brian at GBP.
Rims look pretty good when going with the black on black and a chrome lip. (In my opinion)
Bought a set of Projectors/Halos with HID's
Thats how it sits today, Minus the rims for the winter... But my roomate ran across an ad on craigslist that i couldnt pass up, come to find out it was Jay (Abrasive) on the forums and he was selling all of his extra motors and other parts he had, thank you much Jay! I am starting a build on my car when it gets warm and am lookin to get into the 12 second range...
Well thats all i have for now, i will keep putting more on here as i progress on my build... Thanks for looking!
