Default White Trash Updates

If you read my last post then your up too speed about my 93 TA "White Trash" I bought for 1k with a parts car.

Well we started putting the "new" nose on the bird, by taking the old one off. It was then I got a good look at how much damage was done in the several crashes this car has been in.

The damage wasnt as bad as we thought, But whatever body shop fix it SUCKED they had the nose Guled to the fenders, and many other issues too numuros to mention.

We finished bolting and lining up the panels, We just finished about an hour ago.



As you can see it not pefect but shouls a car called White Trash be.
the layout
previous total 1237.47
sold parts car -135.00
sold mirrors -55.00
sold fender -100.00
bulbs 10.59
headlight control modual 40.00 used(forgot to take the one out of the parts car)
dash trim 15.00 used
total 1014.06

As you can see Im not doing too bad from a budget standpoint, And from the messages on the last post, most of you want the car silly fast, Nitrous and done on a livin under the freeway overpass budget.
Im, getting two tires on the car sat and taging it. Im gonna take it too the track next friday for test and tune. Let me know what you think.

I will be following this car, its a pretty cool build up.

What transmission, I dont remeber if you said or not.

Suggestions, STRIP the car. Lighter goes faster and making a car lighter can be free up to a certain point.

Also the car should be one color.
Primer or a flat black krylon job would be cool, but then it wouldnt be white ("white trash"), maybe a maaco white paint job.

Im gonna make the car lighter, but Im not gutting it. Im gonna try to go the sleeper route. Hidden spray that kinda stuff. Im gonna take certan thing out like rear seatbelts, airbags, emissions, bumpers and crash bars in the doors.

The car is a auto.

Dude a 35-4k STALL is a must.

With just bolt ons and a big gear and stall that car will straight up move and surprise a TON of people.
