Well here we go, I'm going to cram about 7 weeks of work into one post. :wow: Enjoy!!
I'll start by thanking some of my friends thats helped me out with the project, Will, Parker and Laura at Hybrid Racing, Kyle my bud, EJ, my girl Hannah for letting me spend more time with the car than I do with her. Al @ PIC Performance for the coilovers, Matt @ ICB, and Dan @ Atlantic Salvage.
A little about this car,
I bought the car back in August 05, pre Hurricane Katrina. The car was pretty screwed up in the front, the previous owner had rear-ended a truck. So, I found it sitting in the front yard and drove it home with 130k miles for $1800.
