Default Build up of a 94' (High schooler edition)

Howdy all, would like to show off some before/after pics of my baby that I bought at the beginning of summer for a 1,000 bucks.

I've been fixin her up ever since, P.S. Not exactly a "Build Up" although the engine did need some work, vaccum lines, exhaust, plugs, rotor etc.

Just a "Fix up" I guess

Pretty much when I first got her, minus the side step things that I took off,




Another one...




Then came the lift and tires...




And another...



And then came the recent paintjob...




Another...



And another...



Now what isn't shown is the time spent repairing my engine and my two 15" kickers, although I'm planning on getting some more pics up soon.


Let me know what ya'll think, I've had two jobs for the past couple summers and money was a bit tight so I know it's not something all that crazy but it feels good knowing that I built it up myself.

Grazi

The tires are 35/12.50r15's

They look a little bit ridiculous because of the small rim but I'm learning to live with it.


As for the paint, I'm really digging the satin/matte look, I can't help it !

Thanks for the compliments guys, there shall be more to come.

I like it a lot. A lot better look with the pretty headlight setup. Which headlights were those? I forget if you already told me in the past...

Tires stood out but I don't think anything negative about them. Was thinking they look puffy and was wondering if they have a real bouncy feel to them.

The paint job looks cool and smooth, did you participate or did you have it done by a paint shop? Its a heck of a lot better than flat black.

What kind of engine work did you get into?

Keep up the good work and keep us posted,
