Cue "Sanford & Son" music...  ;D


I love the rally-car fresh air intake! The beauty of a car like this is that you have NO fear of trying anything that crosses your imagination.

this car is the perfect candidate for one of those fold out wind break type boxes they are now hanging off the semis for better mileage.  I can see a tail addition now that compliments that hose and air vent combo.

And the more crap you add to this beast the more scrap value it will have when it finally goes TU.

You appear to live in a very nice neighbourhood, how do they allow such an abomination?

I mean, its not even that bad.. Just everything looks half-assed. That is my only criticism.

Hahaha yes the neighbors. They have been trained appropriately. They are all Yankees that moved down and are just appreciative of low taxes and modest home prices; they don't sweat a slightly loud car In the driveway.

Half assed is key! I swore I wouldn't spend no money on this operation. The whole point is to save $$. Ok so I could clean up the trash, I do on occasion.. But it's a commuter car so there will be water bottles, etc.

8v ima post the before pics I haven't forget
