Thanks guys!! I really appreciate all the support and nice comments.

I drove the car tonight for the first time with the new intake, new CAI, new coil overs, solid motor mounts, and new tires and I must say....IT IS FREAKING AWESOME!! I felt so fast and ran so perfect, feels better than it ever had before. I took my brother in-law for a ride and he had permagrin! I can't wait to get it to the track and see if I can beat my last best of 13.2......I will keep ya posted on that, maybe next week!

On another note, knowing I don't have all my pictures up yet of the new interior or engine, I am just curios of what you guys think my car is worth now. I am not selling it, or ever plan on it, just want to see what someone would pay for it. It is about is mint as it could be. Let me know, thanks.

Well, I got out and took some pictures of it today. About time to put this thread to bed, been a long project, but I think it was all worth it. Figure I will break down the prices for everyone, and what I replaced.(prices are by memory, so give or take a few bucks, but you will get the idea)

Upholstery $300
Door panels $130
Auto meter oil pressure and temp $125
Speedo $50
Coil overs and struts $275
Motor mounts $50
Cobra grill insert $75
hidden antenna $30
Intake $300
CAI $55
seat belts $40
MISC parts (door handles, hinges, badges, window cranks, door handle bezels, arem rest pads, arm rest delete,window trim, weather stripping, gaskets,rivits, push pins, hood prop, radiator brakets, 3m 2 sided tape......I could keep going, there was a lot of odds and ends ****)
All that stuff $520 roughly
Spray paint(lots of cans) $60
Tires mounted$310
Tape, sand paper, fillers, cleaners, sanding blocks, painting stands $450
Paint, primer, sealer, thinner, hardener $800
Getting it sprayed $900

Holly crap, that is a lot of stuff and $$....hope the wife doesn't see this. The total investment this past6 months is roughly $4470, but I am glad to say it was all paid in cash. I was saving and planning on this project for over a year before I started it.

Well, here are the pictures, there are a lot





















Alright...is that enough?? I could go take more

Thanks again! Maybe when I build my motor and finish my engin bay, I will do another thread.....

Wheels gota go and I think the head lights woulda looked better in clear. More contrast. Regardless, props on a fantastic job! You should be very proud!!!

I was going to buy some ultra clear headlights, but figured I would give the tinted look a try, it was free and I was going to buy new ones anyway....but I think I kinda dig em...we will see.

As far as rims go, I think they are going to stay the same for now. I have someone that wants to buy them in the color they are. But in the mean while I am going to start collecting parts to do a 5 lug swap so when I am ready, I can swap out to something different. Any suggestions??
