Ok well im going to give this a go and post some video of the car. These are from the beginning . Ill post a new one up once i wax it. My poor gf was removing the glue from the strips haha...im so thankful she helps me out :) ... The car was parked in the yard for over a decade and never touched,you can see my dads old beeper in the back seat as well as a gooseneck equalizer . Sorry for repeating myself so much, First times making a video.

Exhaust and header 2.5 no cat. My dad driving it. This was right before i began sanding her down,as you can see it still had the old blue plates

This is the car today before i waxed it....its only polished.. I just noticed i was recording with only 480p and my phone does 720p. I finished waxing it but its to dark to take a video now... looks much more darker and wetter. Ill try and post a video tomorrow of it .

Ok here is the car waxed with some liquid wax ..looks much better to me. Has more depth and looks wetter. Also installed the decals on it. Tomorrow i will be taking a drive up to upstate ny. 2.5 hr drive to pick up some GTA rims well worth it to me...:)...super excited ...always wanted those. I wil have to restore those from what i was told since the clear coat is peeling.. Ill have pics of them tomorrow to see what im working with. Sorry about the video being somewhat dark...I just finished about and hour ago

Ok so i been gone for awhile. Hows everyone been....I decided today on the coldest day of the winter so far to wash my car. It was in need of it . It was so cold the water was freezing and turning to ice while washing it ,but that just shows how much i love her :). I figured id take some new pics of her with her new shoes. I think i definetly shouldve gone with the gold stickers instead.

Yea definitely, same here man ...I should be going to the one in feb at v17. I still dont have that much faith in the car to take it over a hour drive. Hasnt failed me yet , but dont really want to risk getting stuck far. Once summer comes its a must for me to go down the shore with the ttops off. Something i want to experience as the driver this time.
