So, its kinda fun to look back at what your car looks like as it does to now. Does it look completely different, or exactly the same? What does it look like now compaired to then?

Mine looked like a piece o s***.





And next year it'll be completly different again.

How bout your car?

Just painted the wheels, removed the wing, and lifted the hood. Thats it aesthetically.

It was a stock white chuki hatch with three ugly 14 inch wheels, one 15 inch steelie and 'Phantom' decals on the quarter panel windows...

Not too bad though. I've seen worse for sure.

No its not the craftsmanship or anything... its the decision to do something that lots of folks don't like and then stick up for it... I respected him for that, but now the respect is gone.

Eh... you can't have it all back because you still didnt make the initial decision to convert it in the first place. +1 for fixing what was broken tho

btw in case you are wondering what your stats are:+2 for doing the silvia front conversion and sticking up for it+1 for running a tire that fits your rim instead of stretching it+1 for nice paint (at least in pictures)-2 because I found out you never did the conversion in the first place+1 for fixing what was broken+0 because every time I see a sil-eighty I think of a turtle...

This puts you at a 3 in my book.
