    Stop being jealous! Anyone can build a car to be proud of with a little determination.

    You still have to tell me who has that as there signature.

    Sorta. I drilled the spot welds out of the firewall and removed that. As far as the front frame rails, they stay. The JDM front (fenders, lights, bumper and hood) is able to bolt on with just the radiator support being swapped. The JDM radiator support is already on in the pictures.

    FUCK THAT!!!! I think i have alot of patience but thats pushing it. I dnt like working on the same car for too long. I replaced me core support a few years ago and that wasnt too bad. But i got another car because i didnt want to pull my dash to put in a heater core. If my dash comes out i prolly wont put it back in. LOL!!!

    Haha! Never said it was easy. I was very determined to finish it because the deeper I got into it the more my friends and family doubted the car ever going back together made me stay even more focused on finishing it.

    well then, u are just like me. with that kinda motivation i would finish it too.

    U should make a progress thread. Like how the car used to sit, teardwn, putting it back together, and how it sits now. Those are the best threads ever. I do alot of wrk but i dnt have a digi cam and im too busy trying to get r dun that i 4get to take pics. lol!!!

    Ill just throw some more in here. I'm not huge into cluttering up forums with multiple threads of the same car. Seems like a lot of teh local forums in New England consist of 10 cars and 100 threads based on the same cars. Haha the classic...."Post a picture of your slammed car," "Post a picture of your wheels," "Post a picture of your rear spoiler." Haha irritating.

    Check back in a couple of minutes. Ill go search through my photobucket and take some of each stage.
