well a friend of mine had it on craigslist for $300, no one bought it & i needed a sh*t load of parts. so im guessing he just told himself "why not", gave me a call earlier this past week and first thing in the morning, yesterday, i got towed the car in my backyard haha.

well to keep my money spending to a minimum I think I'll just do the tranny swap, then focus on the looks as well as getting legit parts instead of eBay parts haha.
good luck on starting your own brand doe because a lot of the street wear these days are getting really repetitive. haha

- Sat Mar 10, 2012 11:59 pm #297776 so these past 2 weeks i got A LOT DONE with a lil bit of pics haha. well first off i changed the passenger side axle, both front end wheel bearings, steering rack boots & front end outer tie rods. here's a few pix:

not really noticeable but the dust boot on the old tie rod was hammered real bad haha grease leaking out of it and such, both sides were terrible.
Image

again not too noticeable but both steering rack boots were TORN with little to no grease in the what so ever haha.

and here's a few pix after i got done with it:

also a model car that i just finished a few days ago:

now that maintenance on the car is hopefully over, im thinking of getting a new struts/shocks kit, but that's gonna have to wait cause i just got a 2nd job and can't wait for my first pay check, THEN STRUTS IT IS!!! haha
