Most def not trying to stunt the ride 1500 will do me some good since my boy works at a soundsystem shop cmon quit with the hate its my first ride im only using this to get back and fourth from home to work
Let me make it clear this is not going to be on the strip nor on the streets with night riders this is going to be pretty much a base car with minor adjustments thats good to get from point a-b (fair sound good mpg simple look)
With my pay at work i have a limit on hpw much i can put into this car i also have college tuition to pay aswell as insurance so i may have to go with the chp but as soon as i get promoted im going with the 5.0 hatch (or maybe drop a 5.0 in the chp) because i dont think im ready to afford a v-8

Hi, welcome to the site. What your describing definately doesn't sound like my taste. But to each his own. If everybody did their car the same way, what fun would that be?
A great site to find restoration parts for your car would be :
www.latemodelrestoration.com
And be prepared for some flaming for putting big*** rims on your "whip".
Don't let the critisism from others deter you, there is much to learn on this site.

If I had 6 grand, i would buy 2 more cars like mine. jk
The only suggestion I have is, get a good alarm if you get a hatch. People walk by and see a couple 18s back there, they may take them.
Also get an x-box so you can play halo.
