[the vert]

How come you didn't paint the engine bay red to match the car?Look really good none the less.

[leesredgt]

Well it was red,and i just wanted something different to be honest with you.lol

Plus i think im gonna paint the car black when i get done with it.

I havent posted a pic up in a while.Heres how it looks now.Its gotten really dirty with pollen and crap.Apparently theres some kind of rodent thats been s***ting on my valve cover and eating nuts aswell.There is also s*** all on then inside on the carpet.I shouldnt have left the shifter hole open for 2 months.



Heres some more pics i forgot i had taken.





Heres a random pic i took of the Supra.I snuck it into the garage when my mom left.

I would love to find a vert that cheap. A vert under a grand in that kind of shape would make me sparkle.

LOL.

Its sure as heck made me sparkle thats for sure.lol

I def. couldnt pass it up.Spent the last 400$ i had at the time to get it.

[urcaptnspeaking]

Well you sir....Good job.

[King Ranzo]

Nice build man. I honestly think you should keep it red. Maybe re paint it a different color red. Something that really matches with the red on the valve cover. Other than that, it's a sexy build. Keep us updated.

[1990-240sxsr20det]

Well if i dream about this swap ill have a tent when i wake up. But in all honesty it looks awesome and I personally think you should go withblack for paint.How does the interior look?

The interior is actually in really good condition except for the steering wheel its cracked, and the carpet has a few stains on it,but im gonna dye it anyways,but besides that its good.Its dirty right now with all the parts ive got in it and the rodent droppings but besides that its good.lol

Ill takes some pics of it once i get it cleaned out.
