Default Better Pics of the New Firehawk!

It finally stopped raining down here yesterday so I finally got to wash the car. It still needs a full detail and polish but I dont think its a half bad starting point! I am starting to like the lines of the Formula better (still hate the wing though...)

What do you think?











Can you believe how stock the engine is....it would be untouched if not for the red top Optima!

Hell, I'd love to have a daily driver like that.
It's not like it's ever going to bring big money any day. It's not that rare. It has miles on it. Hell, drive it & enjoy every day!

I think those decals look *******. I can't think of a better color, aside from blue, that would look as good on white.

I know it needs vacuming but this is just the way I picked it up. I haven't touched it yet (been too busy getting the orange car ready for the TA Nationals next weekend.) It has a little wear on the driver's seat bolster but not too bad....not for a driver at least! The passengers and rear seat look like they have never been set in and the rest of the interior is dead mint as well. (Oh yeah, thats not wear on the steering wheel...thats some kind of reflection or something. I just saw it in the pics and went out to the shop and looked!)
