My dad and I bought this car 2 years ago off someone I was working for maintaining her rental property and I saw it sitting in the barn, it sat for 16 years in the barn so the floors, rear wheel lip, and the spare tire well in the trunk were completely gone so my dad put all new steel on the car in the rusted area it has 53,000 miles on the original 4 banger my dad did all the paint and body himself and we got a good deal on the pony wheels so we just put them on there to be able to drive it, the first drive was literally a week before the downriver cruise

I totally agree but for $150 for the rims and tires off a buddy just to get it rolling down the road and look somewhat decent i cant complain my dad and I just need to get some more money together for some weld draglites but for now we are more worried about the motor which im sure most of you understand the feeling

about to order all my engine parts this week! :)
 
Step 1: go to store
Step 2: buy single edge razors
Step 3: remove stickers.
Step 4: tint windows.
Step 5: paint or plastidip the wheels black

Will make that car look 100x cleaner.

Step 6: buy good straps and learn to tie a car down to a trailer. HOW THE FUCK does a car almost fall off trailer!
