No pictures really but heres how it worked out in the timeline
Brought it, 100% with almost perfect body for 100.00 dollars (yes thats one-hundred)
1 year later, old women rear ends me in a praking lot, no damage except the exhaust, didnt have the heart to make her pay for it.
6 months later, lend the car out, my friend hits a curb going way to fast, bends my new front rim and blows tire, messes up my steering and still havent gotten it right.
Then the state took my plates for a month last october, i pull the car for the winter, put it back on the road, blows through its second smog pump so i delete that and the ac, now week by week an electrical component goes (last week was tps), the fiberglass hood doesnt fit right and for the life of me it wont stop leaking radiator fluid...
While i had it off the road, it was in my back yard, i dont think my mother liked it much since i now have little dents i cant identify.

she aint as perfect as she looks
the cobra grille isnt 100% perfect... a few flaws in my body work, the paint is chipped all over the place
clear coat is peeling off the fender, has a few spots where the paint is bubbly
the interior isnt perfect, the thing has airleaks out the a$$
but she is nice from like 10 feet, and when I doctor the pics...
now
when someone slashed my top 2 years ago
day I bought it
DEER DAMAGE!!!
proof I drive it in the winter... look at all that salt.... ewwww

mine is driven every day, rain, snow, sleet, and once, hail... the only times I didnt drive it were when it was getting its top replaced, clutch installed, a new gas tank and when it blew an intake gasket... but at the most, the car was down a week
