Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

GTP
Black Leather
Sunroof
HUD
Heated driver seat
Decent tires
176k miles

Has only 2 issues right now that I'm fixing atm:
Stupid previous owner put the wrong tranny in it... idiot
And needs some body work.... 4 dents and very small amount of rust



Buuuuuut I work at a car lot so I am going to pull it into the shop this weekend when the shop is closed and swap the tranny with the used one I ordered for $350....
And as far as the body work, I have some pretty nifty little custom idea brewing up in my head... I only paid a grand for the car, so I'm going to experiment with some painting ideas... hahaha


Let me know what you guys think, and I'll be posting more pics tomorrow at work.
 


coupes are sexy. good find. some TLC itll look good.

and how the FVCK do you put the wrong tranny in it!? not YOU but the person before you...

Good work, guy.
 
Coupes are nicer , look sportier even though I own a CompG 05 i wanted a daytona before i bought my car.
 
I have to say i'm a 4 door guy, because I own one. More room to mingle in the backseat, but coupes look awesome as well
 


As promised, heres some more pics... and pics of the tranny swap... didnt have time to take pics of puttn the new tranny in tho

Well that's what we thought at first... when we got the old one out we realised something was just messed up internally from when he took it to a cheap tranny shop to have it rebuilt..
 
It could be. Ill check when i get to work on monday. There should be a tag on the tranny correct? What will it say if its a gt?
