OK, Flash forward to today!

So today i got up, and got the rest of the gunk off the car where the window visors were. I also cleaned the engine bay; ie: Pressure washed, then scrubbed with a brush. It looks like a completely different engine. I also detailed the shit out of the inside of the car. I am really pleased with the way it came out after these few things, it's really starting to shape up nicely. I ahve got to get some tint on that thing, or either not drive it, hehe. then a new steering wheel, and some new wheels. I am going to stay with 15's on this one, with a nnice 2" drop. It should look hot. This thread isnt going to go as quickly as my black honda's thread, but i will update it periodically as i do things, or jsut take more pics.

Before i show pics of the ext/int cleaned up, you guyts have to see this engine bay. I a sprayed degreaser on it, and let it sit, then pressure washed it with soap directly on top of the degreaser. Then I risned that off, and soaked it with degreaser again, and scrubbed it with a soapy brush. It is an incredible difference. There are still some spots i couldn't get to, but when i turbo it, i'll drop the motor, and clean it up real nice.

First, the before... (you can also see the old dingy headlights.)

God, I really hate those wheels. Design, and color. Black only belongs on black. See my other thread. B)

Rear looks a lot better w/o the Euros. I am planning on some Si tails on it.(red/white, no orange)

3k. I really wish he'd have came down another 500, then i wouldnt have felt like i got *****. I know i overpaid, but if i get to 250k with it, i'll have gotten my moneys worth out of it.
