Some of you know me, and some don't. I stopped posting a while back, but I still trolled these forums. If you don't remember, I was the guy that did the first pre-98 console switch panel, I powdercoated stuff, and I did some unique pre-98 stuff.

Anyway, I finally finished the tour. Here's a history of the car and a mod list:

My sister owned the car, and just before it became mine, I put new brakes (all components) on the car, with all new low-profile Yokohama rubber. A month later, the car was totaled. My sister hit a patch of ice, and it became mine.

Mod list:
Exterior
New Front End (Fenders and hood)
Removed door strips
SVT sideskirts
Molded away character lines on the bumpers
Polished Window and Sunroof Trim
Flip-Flop Trunk (DONE THE RIGHT WAY)
JSP Mecha Spoiler
10" Polished Stainless Antenna
De-hazed headlights and foglights
Xenon Bulbs
Polished aluminum fuel door
Billet Grill Emblem
Hood Pins
Shaved Rear Quarter Lines
Shaved Emblems

Soon to come:
20% Tint All Around
Red Vinyl Side Graphics

I had a lip spoiler, and switched to this one. Thanks for the opinions about the spoiler, but it stays.
 
Yeah the wing sucks and actually, (I know they don't teach this in school anymore) there is no right way to do a flip flop trunk. Other than that, it's alright.
 
Kremit, I've stuck up for you in threads before, bro. But you're right, dark red and bright yellow is much classier- I should definitely take your advice. As much criticism as you've received, I would have guessed that you of all people would just say "nice car." Thanks for your opinion.
 
needs more power mods :D

I like the bumpers, they look REALLY nice moulded together like that. You did a wicked job... The other stuff.. not really feeling it..
 
This post was only for exterior pics, but in terms of engine mods/performance, I have a few things done. I machined my own intake assembly, I bought Ford Racing wires and Bosch triple plat. plugs. I did the IMRC cover mod. I replaced the resonator with straight pipe. I replaced the muffler with stainless pipe, which I will soon have wired up with flamethrower hardware. I have a nice strut tower brace, and other pretty pieces to go with it.

Here are some old pics of the engine bay-

By the way, here are some in progress pics which show what I mean by flip-flop trunk: the right way.

Hope this clears some stuff up- I'll get more pics up soon.
 
Seeing a huge wing, especailly on a FWD car, makes me cringe. There's no point for one, and it's just about as ugly as my hairy ass. I love the rest of the car though, sorta looks like mine, just with different wheels :)
