I was bored today, so I went out and had a photoshoot. It dawned on me that I had never really posted any pics of it here, so I thought that I would do so.

Yea, the spoiler is definitely a love it or hate it thing. And the wheels would look much better on there with a drop, which is coming before long. I'm getting an entire suspension setup out of an 87T that I'm going to have sandblasted and put the poly bushings on. When I swap the suspension on, that's when it gets it's drop. It had a lip at one point, but the gigantic speedbumps around here put an end to that (at stock ride height even...).

Stuff that is going in are rebuilt T3 turbo, rebuilt 87T brake calipers (and pretty much everything else on the braking system new), going to rebuild the diff when I have the rear suspension out, have a rebuilt 71C, new clutch and flywheel, new fuel system, black interior, all new sound system (head unit, new wires, speakers), gutted plenum, small intercooler, and pretty much any sensor I haven't replaced already. And if I ever get around to buying the components, a new AC system.

What I've already done is... well, wheels and the spoiler, as you may have guessed. I've replaced the alternator, power steering pump, power steering rack and pinion, CHTS and subharness, every belt on the damn thing, poly differential mount (the stocker was shot when I bought the car). It also has a new driveshaft with replaceable Spicer u-joints, a short shifter, 87T 24mm sway bars, whatever poly mounts I've felt like putting on, e-fan. I put a lot of time cleaning the engine bay up and slowly am removing whatever components it doesn't need (in a word, emissions).

If your car was gold it could be the missile bomb from Beneath the Planet of the Apes.

Doesn't "perrenial" usually refer to vegetables and plants? Are you, sir, a plant?

It's an intentional misspelling of the word "perennial".

It's a Kaminari spoiler. I bought it from a guy in Virginia used. They are NLA from Kaminari.

Which means what exactly?

I hate to jack your thread, but I must understand this.

Jacked threads are interesting. Anyway...

That's pretty much what I'm shooting at. Number two is... not so much... but if you really want to know what number two was then here it is.

If I get brain trauma in a crash and turn into a vegetable, then feel free to imply that at that point I meant this definition too.

When I look at that spoiler, I feel like I get brain trauma.
