Nice tail lights

Nice car, you'll really stand out by modifying a car that color. This build looks like it's gonna be a good one.

I'm gonna bring Altezza back!! They came on the car when I bought it... I'm going to take them apart, spray the chrome red, and tint the lens red so they look less...

I can't wait to get rid of the steelies and put some nice wheels on this car finally! I just wish the ups guy would hurry up already.

I took my old front struts off and have the new ones ready to go in. Both my ball joints are shot so I am going to pick up a pair of Moog ball joints today and a to install.

Old vs New

I hope this gets done right. An interesting color.
