This car cost me $500, I sold the wheels for $200.
Had to rollback it home. Tires had camber wear down to steel.
Replaced some stuff:
(In no particular order)

Radiator
timing belt &Idler/tensioner
waterpump
thermostat
both fans
brake pads
alternator
rear upper control arms
2g manifold
rear hatch
hood
Full exhaust
some other stuff...

Of that list, all I had to purchase was the waterpump and thermostat ($45). All other stuff came from my stash, or my buddies stashes.
I replaced the hood because the one that was on it was MINT. I had a dented up spare so I threw that on.

Started on a light bar:

Yes those are old sockets welded to the A pillar.(dilligaf)

So at this point I got my bike clamps bolted through the roof,(mostly) truck bed coated body, and some old jeep wheels to hold it up.

Okay time for wheels. I wanted some tough looking ish, but this is a budget build, haters.

This was about the time I replaced the exhaust.
3" stainless turboback using re-bar for custom bent hangers.
No off the shelf muffler could contain all 180 horsepowers so I had to build one..

This is ****ing awesome. I expected nothing less.

I approve greatly.

Impressive sir!

Awesome. Cool to see something different come from the dsm world.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing, please keep us updated!

It's ridiculous. It's preposterous. It's fantastic!

But damn, that car looked pretty clean before you ripped into it.

This thing is awesome I approve.

Lol, that was the "good" side (despite still being rusty). That picture is deceiving haha.

It had to be done. I already have a very big 1g resto project. Even bigger Conquest project, and a Gvr4. This ain't my first time around the block, I need something different.

Best DSM thread ever.

lol?

But for serious, PO did the super sweet headliner delete. I'm okay with it, but it was omgloud. Fixed a lot of the tin roof sound.

Just hope someone doesn't back into your lights like someone did to me.
