Not too bad looking for a 115k car some one needs to buy the third gen in the 2nd pic so I can pay off the cost of the repairs
so far my plans are to do a black manta and berger and ''possibly'' a dynotune wet kit now that the motor will be fresh and thats it until she is payed off

If I were you man, and you had another car, save up for a little and built it right. I did the same thing with the car and the sig and I really wish I would have at least got rods and pistons. It won't cost too much more and much better than the stockers! Great lookin car though, looks almost identical to my friends, minus the SLP grll and it being stock ride height.
