I got this car for $500 back in 2005 when I was 14.

After awhile me and my dad pulled out the engine and rebuilt it.

Image

Image

I found a header at the local junkyard for $38

Image

Then I got some enkei ek98's for free from a family member that had them just sitting in storage.

Image

Image

I started doing body work on the car and painted the car. I didnt like how the paint came out so I sanded it back down and started over.

Image

I stopped working on the car for a year or two. Then last year I started working on it again.
I once again got the car ready for paint. My dad painted it in my garage.

Image

I made a roof spolier.

Image

Soon after I got adapters for my ek98's and started to polish and repaint them.

Image

Image

About two months ago I bought some Koni's (8610-1436) i alslo bought coilover sleeves and springs.

Image

Image

Image

I sectioned my struts and installed the coilover.

This is how it sits now after suspension settled some more.
