Thanks for all the encouragement. I am really excited to get going because I haven't done my own auto work since my dad forced me to with my first car when I was 16, a 1978 Chevy Luv (No it wasn't new). My mom is bringing me all my dads auto tools including his floor jacks and jack stands this weekend which should make my life easier. I will be doing all the work on the car myself as much as possible. I am moving and will have a huge 2 car garage with built in workbenches, heat, and a nice smooth concrete floor this weekend. Now if I can find a compressor and spray gun to do the paint work myself. My goal is to get this sucker show worthy before this next spring.

I literally have only had this car a week. Going to get a spring kit to drop it about 2 inches when I get some spare cash. Looking for a Infinity Basslink II to hold me over till I can get enough to put 3 10's in. Going to have a custom box made for the hatch. I have a full set of Inifinity Kappa's to replace all the interior speakers when I can get a 4-6 channel amp to push them. Gonna stick with the stock head unit till I can afford a nice GPS/DVD unit. Have my Nokia N810 tablet modded in at the moment to hold me over till I can get my Carputer put into this. For that to happen I need to pick up another 7-8 inch touch screen. This will be connected to the cars computer so I will have real time. I have a nice silver tribal graphics for the car but I can't decide if it would be cheesy or not. Thinking of going with a Cold Air Intake for my first $100+ purchase. Get a good K&N or AEM. Anyone else know of a good company that may be a little cheaper? Bought my blue accent paint for the engine dressing. Now I just need to order my Orange Firemist paint for the lettering. Just waiting on the 5 amber LED switches to get the 4 - 3 Amber LED clusters for the interior and 2 - 5 Amber LED clusters for the engine compartment installed. Also ordering some Orange Metallic loom for the wires.

Grounded the throttle body and man can I tell the difference. Acceleration is quicker at higher speeds and the gears seem to switch smoother. This week I will be removing the Intake Resonator and doing the Advance Timing Ignition mod. Installed my K&N Performance Air Filter, that should hold me over till I get my Intake. If anyone knows a place that I can get custom cloth for the interior please give me a holler. I am also looking for a steering wheel cover with the orange below and preferably black as well.

Better pictures coming when I can find a cool place to snap some pics.
