I guess im going to go ahead and call this my build thread. This car started out in pretty bad shape but i bought it when i was 16 for 2300 bucks and all it needed was a new clutch so i couldnt really pass it up. Before i started lurking around on here i made the bad decision of getting wheels before low. But i think i finallly got the hang of things now
Heres what it looked like the day i brought it home
Then i made the horrible mistake of buying a set of ASA's and a cup kit :banghead:
Then i came to my senses and sold the wheels and cup kit and got coils
So of course since i made one right move i made a HUGE wrong one and got a set of sawblades and for some stupid reason painted them Starlight Purple..:banghead::screwy::facepalm:
I then decided to wrap the hood in zebra fabric the night before i left for h20
At this point i realized that i was heading in the wrong direction so i pretty much wanted restart
started with getting a gli trunk and shaving the body line, sold the wheels and got a new hood
Then this happened
After i got it back on the road i decided i wanted to shave the door rubstrips
Then got the rest of the body work done and primered up
Sat like that for a while then made a roadtrip to pick up Savvvs Rear bumper and sideskirts
Savvvs rear rubstrip was molded so i did it to the front as well
Then raised it for paint
And here how it sits today :wave: Had it resprayed the Jeep Sahara Tan
