getting on the web right now to order some things. sometime next week i will be deciding on a color. getting some oe wheels this weekend. already got new bumpers. so far i need to adjust valves and repair an exhaust leak. thinking i will be getting an aftermarket manifold. the idle is also little bumpy so i need to fix.

well after 2hrs of wiring i have most of it done. just need to get a radio harness in and i should be done. now i have to figure out what headunit i want. my brother wants oem but i dont know. also lifted car and doesnt seem like i need to replace anything. i will be getting some lowering springs though. full coilover setup later this year.
