i gotta get my car out of the shop first!!!


everythings pretty much fixed on it except the shop couldnt find a rocker panel and a foglight for some reason. a guy on modded mustangs is sending me the rocker panels tomorrow for free i just gotta pay shipping.. but i had to fork over like 40 bucks for a new foglight on ebay

but after thats all said and done, ill be so relieved and happy i finally have my car back.

i cant wait to wash and wax it.. im prob gonna paint the calipers too and maybe tint the headlights and tail lights with some vht if i ever have a free day. oh and if the $$ allows i really want to get it tinted before the show.

If there was a meet in the SOUTHEAST I would definitely go. Considering I was born in Baltimore, went to college in VA BEACH and am hoping and I'm 80 percent sure, moving to Charlotte next spring, I'm down mang!!

yeah you can do a regular wash, just don't put any wax on it for a month or two. fresh paint is fresh paint though...it will look great regardless.

yeah some guy said 90 days or until the paint stops smelling. I'll just wash with soap and water until then.

Haywire-It would mean a drive down to San Diego for me, which I've done countless times. So yes, I would do it.
