This is my buildup of my 2000 ES Auto. Iv had the car for 3 years and paid 200.00 for it. Im adding years worth of work pictures.

2007 When the car was dropped in my front yard. These are pics of the car untouched.

This is what the engine looks like in a 200.00 car when u get it to your yard... the whole upper half, bolts, belts everything just thrown in the trunk. "was hell sorting all that out when this is the first neon u ever touched" but i did it.

These Are Pics after about 3 months worth of work.. back in 2008.

drove it two years like this. then the water pump froze up and snapped the timing belt again. so under the knife it goes again. more pictures below.

Wow, it's come a long ass way! I like the little white steelies

And that's the first I've seen a neon headliner fall down like that. Poor little car was in rough shape!

the crappiest set of coilovers known to man... theres no way i would drive that car another mile with that junk on it anymore. its nice and low but it rides like your rolling down a mountain in a 55 gallon drum.. so its getting air struts.

Wow, that thing is slammed! Looks so hot sitting against the floor like that!

I love the paint job too. Nice and clean.

yeah she was in very rough shape. the car was just falling apart. the old owners ragged the car out. then it sat in the mans yard 2 years before i found it. its got close to 200K on it. so its getting a nice engine overhaul and a engine bay rework including bedlinered firewall, new exhaust, fresh engine paint and a redone wiring harness. going to take me about a year or so before its road ready again.
