Default zelement................??? ???

Seeing your car is a VERY popular and well liked favorite(With GOOD reason)...Would you happen to have any "earlier" pics of when it was stock(old paint job, no mods etc?) to post for us? I like seeing others that need a padded cell like myself who have modded their cars to where you couldn't recognize them from before.That's what makes them "OURS" as forum member jackyl once said. He was sooo right!

:) I'm even up to some antics with my latest sig! :lol: That's my little 'ol '90 back in 1997 when the LPE motor first went in. Nov 5 1997 to be exact. It was an un-seasonably warm day that day! I'll never forget.

Okay here is a pic of my grey car when I first got it last year. I wasn't too crazy about the grey/black scheme so I changed it to red with a white top.

The car also came with some ugly ricer "Greenwood type" package that I ripped off.

The engine compartment was also cluttered with some apparatus that looked like hair dryers. They're now gone.

I went to the track after having ripped all that crap off the car and actually broke into the 13's. I could just imagine where I would have been with all the extra/unnecessary weight on there. Can you say 15 second C4 :U

Chuck is trippin' :D

Nice Callaway pic. They we're both nice.

Paul, thanks for posting those. It's weird seeing the stock sawblades on your car. Nice to see some of the older pics though. I can't decide whether I want to do brakes or coil overs first! It NEVER ends :D

Please tell me the "greenwood type" package was NOT the one in your picture? The one in hte picture is a Callaway Aerobody and I'd just be forced to kill you if you destroyed one. :)

I like seeing others that need a padded cell like myself who have modded their cars to where you couldn't recognize them from before.That's what makes them "OURS" as forum member jackyl once said. He was sooo right!
:cheers: :cheers:





Change from 88 to 96 white, GS wheels/flares, ghosted silver hash marks, two tone custom Black/White guts... not to mention No flames, to ghost flames, to dark flames to REAL flames, and now going back to black/white guts.
:cheers:

Vince, that picture was taken probably back in 95 after I got the stock wheels polished.
