Default 2000 NBM T/A with RUFF 278.

I bought this car for dirt cheap and have been re-doing it (interior, paint, rims, engine mods, etc.), over the past year. I just now got it back from the tranmission shop and the rearend went out on the way home. I no the pictures arent good and i havent even got a chance to clean it up since it has got repainted. Ill get some better pics up later once i get the rear fixed.
o yea does anyone no where i can get a sig made. thanks.

Not a fan of the wheel/tire combo nor the hood but thumbs up on a nice project. How well do those hoods perform?

I have only drove it about 5 miles since i got it back from the paint shop (they put the hood on for me), and that was on the way home from the transmission shop. So to answer your question i havent really got to test it out. Everyone says its alot better than the old one.

I like it; hood and all looks like you need some tips on your exhaust though. Would like to see it with the mecham wing to complete the look.

The carpet has faded out alot, the guy i bought it from left the t-tops out of it and it rained and snowed and everything in there. Ill try to get before/after pictures up.

Not really a Mecham is it? I don't see a dash plaque/wing/number on headlight, etc.?

That hood looks phenomenal though, and the wheels look good. Nice work so far man!!

Well, he did say he blew his rear end on the way home from picking it up from the trans shop ... So probably yes..


I think the car looks great . just a couple small things i noticed that would bug me . Your passenger side (Mecham T/A) emblem is sorta crooked ? or looks to be . And i think your antenna is facing a little back..

No. I Just like the look of the hood, and before i got it painted it already had all the decals on it, so i just ordered new ones and put on their. The body shop did put them on a little crooked. I dont really car to much for the mecham wing.

Yea the antenna is broke it doesnt go up and down i guess i need a new motor.

And yes the ten bolt is gone. lol. Instead of wasting money on getting it fixed im just gonna go with the 9 inch.
