Hey.

My name is brian.

First car was a 1992 Camaro RS <- super slow.

I been at advance auto parts for 4 years.

I attend WKU.

Also I drive a DSM that is heavily modified.

I take pictures.

And trying to start my own studio.

Anything else ask away.


Oh, here some pics.
First car. I miss her.


Here is my talon. Before undergoing surgery.



I have been doing a body swap into this car for a few months now, and almost complete with it. I walk you through the process.
Started like this.


Completely gutted the entire car. Hoped I eliminated all the rust. Then I sanded/grinded/rustoleomed/painted all the sub assembly.

Engine bay.


Rear end.


Interior.


Pictures from the other day. Motor in the car, wheels back on it. But being a DSM it will always be on jack stands.

It looks like you may have already, but take the roll call of stickers off the windshield and that will be a pretty clean DSM. Those things have a lot of potential and are often underrated.

Good luck getting her all finished.
