|
correct, iam a single dad, she is first, job was shitty, then i got a new job, garage broken into , lost interest for a while, totaled my daily driver, bought the grand prix, but now iam really motivated, all the parts have been sold, its mechanically sound, all thats left is body work, get wheel alignment, re plate it, insurance, and enjoy it until it sells
and use the money to get my daughter and my self out of the shitty town i live in, is that a good enough explanation for ya?? |
good idea, chris get out of that shit town. you should move out here;)
|
my plan is to move in with cath, and just commute to work, but until then iam gonna drive the hell outta this car
|
So does the car still have the OSV inspired spoiler and custom tail lights? Or were those back to stock, too?
|
If I refer to the tread about the other park bench dude, I'd say these are still in his plans.
|
yes the back of the car is not changing at all,
|
progress is going real good, got my gas door, right side headlight, new door poppers, right side door is almost ready for primer, she still drives great, runs strong, no leaks in air ride, buying parts here and there, iam hoping to be done by the end of june, then up for sale it goes
