Well I've had my S for a while and for a while I've just been riding dumped and going to meet. I'm getting a little tired of that, so it's time for a change. I want to start track it more with my buddies.

This tread will show the changes that my car is gonna go thru in this year. Yeah it's late but better late then never

Here is how the car was 2 weeks ago.




Since then, I sold the rims and my OEM steering wheel. I've also gutted out the interior, John Z is my insperation for the gutted interior. I've always loved the way it looks so I finally bit the bullet and started. Tar removal is a pain in the ass !!

Here are some progress pics of how it's going.


YIKES !!!


The strippin begins


Most of the tar is chipped out. Rest should be out this weekend and residue cleaned as well.

Few hours later and what do you get ???


A make shift yard sale

Why do this you ask ?

Well I was bored with the car and wanted a change.

There are a TON of mods coming for this car. I will keep this thread updated as soon as parts come in and actually get put into the car

But for real though, hopefully this isnt just a phase, and you do end up permanently tracking this car. I'd hate to go back and think, wtf was i thinking?

yes I did make up my mind on the way I transform this car(took a while)
It will still be streetable. I don't think I'm going to be taking out the power window or the AC.

Yeah Elson the stuff is already for sale in the so Cal section.

How do you go about in cleaning the yellow sound deadening material? Goof off?

Cant wait to see the final result.

I don't think it's going to come off by goofing off. I think it will take a lot of hard work to get it off.
