sr5punk's "brandy"

hahaha that is awesome. i love the car more and more each day. finding out little things. like this weekend i found out i have a telescoping wheel and abs. i told my girlfriend and i got one of those "you act like it is the biggest thing in the world, but it is really nothing and I hate you for telling me this" kind of looks. :girl: anyways i am content. i am however trying to source the black trim that goes around the rear driver window and on to the hatch. mine keeps coming up. possibly take it from a junked car we will see. also the driver side mirror interior part. the black shroud or cover, whatever it is. it was broke and then fixed with double sided tape that no longer holds it up. so i am going to try and find that piece too. oh well, se la vee :wtg:

 

well I have not updated this in over a year. very sad. but I have done a few minor things to it like got a k&n drop in air filter, cleaned off some of the gunked up oil on the tranny and around the dizzy cap, new plugs and a new stereo, with new infinity front speakers. some updated pics to come when the rain stops.

 

oh and i forgot, i am in the process of removing the "side skirt" and front lip as well as the mud guards. the lip is completely fubared and the "sideskirts" i think are just in the way with the mud guards really. I know it won't look pretty, but at least it will be off. ahahaha. future plans are to have the car resprayed possibly black or a dark blue pearl mica. we will see.

 

some new shots. nothing pretty, but you can see the eye candy!



















i also got a used set of valve covers that I am going to sand and spray. the rear valve cover is my biggest oil leak. utter blasphemy. i was also talking to my shop prof. about my weird idle and dying issues and he said it may be related to a throttle body issue. so we will see about swapping that out. will try to keep this a little more updated!

 

hahaha whoever owned the car before me decided to do a shitty paint job. it comes off when I wash. i get maroon puddles between the spoiler and glass on the hatch. so sad. it will be repainted...one day!

 

yep. we didnt get the folding mirrors. so lame!

 

true...might even be a little more aero looking, but still, the luxury of power folding...ah! makes a grown man cry you know?
