I couldn't get over the off-kilter aesthetics. Then again your car is a few more colors than mine... :P

Mine is starting to look bad with all the sanding marks everywhere

Pics!

And John's GTO (which is 100% stock except for an LS7 clutch and some DBA slotted stock-size rotors, so he would have been in F Stock and taken 2nd (1st if that cone hadn't of fallen over)):

I've been getting some work done for the ORPCA opening AutoX in a little over a week, plus my first drag race of the year. Hoping for 14's...

I need to get the RB twin pulley onto the alt and dump the smog and A/C along with the mechanical fan so I can throw on my electric.

Good luck! Post when you go! I'd like to come watch. I'll bring something to cross the stripes with.

Still need to rebuild my trans. 3rd gear's synchro isn't grabbing well at high RPM.

Where did you pick up your dye? I'm in the process of dying my carpet and doors black. (will the dye work on that vinyl/ faux leather stuff?)

Here's a quick shot of my interior but I'm probably gonna change the red to silver. Red looks too much for me.

I fit a medium sized deep freeze in mine. It just barely fit even with 1/3 of it sticking out the hatch lol. wish i had snapped some pics.
