Before and After pictures of you ride. or current state.

Well i was just looking at before and after pictures of my truck. What a difference and im not even done. so i figured id throw up a thread to see what everybody's vehicles look like when they first got it and what it looks like now. ill start first. so throw them up. Lets see how much improvement's you have made.

Heres my before i dont have any pictures of it stock. but heres the closest i have.



heres some of the most recent photos. ill have a few more things todo before the outsides done. but here it is.

i love the way your truck sits now shawn. and the new rims are sick!!! good work.

Ok, i will admit i hated your truck in the beginning but now that you lowered it and changed the wheels (thank you) it looks bad azz with the new wheels. It turned out sweet!

+1,000 on the wheels!! Looks far better with the new ones, and the new stance!!!

Well lets see here, I've had so many different stages with this thing. What a ricer......

I've lost SO MANY old pictures it's not even funny. Here's what I have left





My greatest success story was last year! I went from this:
Half a front bumper, rattle canned dented fenders, no turn signals, bad tranny, every engine seal/gasket was bad, the list goes ON!!!



To this!:

cool picks todd, and everybody. when i figure it out, ill post up mine

I still have nightmares about taking that intake manifold off Toddles.

thanks guys. i wasnt always a fan of the wheels myself but i only paid 1200 for wheels and tires 4 years ago so thats why i bought them. now looking back at the stance it looked like it was lifted before

i didn't like your truck either, except the fact that it was turboed, and it was a chevy, and did i mention it was turboed..... ponchiac ponchiac ponchiac

And after some major modification:


Me:


Me a couple of years after the last picture:

i like them little cars, what do they weigh? i always wanted one with a sbc and powerglide init.

Nels I have to say that the last transformation is the most impressive for me. To go from blue jeans to black takes a lot of guts. Good work you really are bringing the sexy back JT lake would be proud! As for the cars I forgot how awesome the red car looked they day you traded a pack of beer for it. Nice work making it look sweet.

When I first started working on it

Then after the rebuild and a little clean up






It has a lot more done since this last picture but thats the last decent picture I took of it about a year ago.

yikes... i dont even wana post pics of how my car looked when i bought it!! it was scary and so riced out so i dont think i will.
but this is the first motor i put in after the b16 went. scary.. i know

got some yummy red goo sprayed


blew that motor up, bought a gsr and threw it in to get me by

took that out and threw in the new motor for 2010

No exterrior shots Jason? It's just as sexy on the outside as it is under the hood

damn cars lookin good foxs. that car has came along ways sense you first started. one of the cleanest hatch around IMO. nice work.

thanks man!

Yikes


With the old wheels but close to what it looks like now.




In the garage now but real dirty.

Well I'm going to try to post some pics. Hope it works. Figure this would be a good first try.

Current induction is a supervic intake, edelbrock elbow, 90mm wilson TB, and huge custom MAF. On a SBF 347 in a 92 mustang.

New induction will be a wilson 4500 TB with no MAF. No air cleaner no nothing on top of it. Yes an A9L ECU will be used with no MAF. Going to be interesting.

And the carb in the pic is a brand new race demon 825 that is for sale by the way.
