The 'Bird Progress Log UPDATED 9-07-08 (Swap A 350)

WykedHellFire · Post by **WykedHellFire** » Thu May 31, 2007 8:03 pm

I have nothing much yet but it will save time and threads for when I add more things.

About a week after I got her.

Subs: They are now facing the trunk

Amp: Will be moved to trunk when I get a longer power cable.

Winged, Altezza style tail lights added. Hub caps removed.

De-Winged, the car as it sits right now:

I plan on smoking my tails and with in the next couple of years doing the 5-speed SRT swap along with the SRT 2.4 engine. when the car is done I would like to either have a full SRT look with plymouth badging aswell... because I think a Forest Green SRT would be the sex. If not that then I would love to have an 01 or 02 r/t front with r/t sides and an SRT rear...I would like to somehow put the plymouth logo in the grill of an 02 front as well. That is all for now.

EDIT:

Here are the rims I plan on putting on, which I know all of 2gn will hate but these rims > steelies.

mmmm if you paint the face of the rim leaving the sides crome like people do to the srt wheels that might look hawt... either way they WILL look better on the car than the steelies.

Im sure most of you saw that, but anyway I have decided to leave my motor stock for the time being. I will do a few more minor body mods and then will be changing things up dramatically

check back for updates.

Hey guys! it's about time I update this, wish it was with better news though...I had so many plans for my neon (sarah) but being tight on money and trying to move have completely halted everything...Well right now sarah is at the lowest she's ever been...she has become more of a daily beater than anything due to me having the bird now, although the bird is back in orlando right now due to more money problems...I have to wait to get her back...

Anyway, on with the story....I think my neon is as ghetto as it gets right now, since I use her for work (delivering news papers) I drive 60 miles a night, I couldn't afford new low pro tires so what do I do? well I put the stockers back on the front

I know I know

...

Well I was strongly considering recently trading her in for this beautiful 2003 Crown Victoria, but I don't want to put myself in the hole by having car payments...and ever since I went with my mom to pick her out a new car (not new but new to her) and we picked up a 93 interceptor I fell in love with em, plus it's fun to watch people freak out when they can't tell if your a cop or not...

Here's some picks I took of my moms Vic and the neon as they sit. If you want to bash the neon thats fine because it really doesn't matter to me, I know she's at her worst. but don't worry because in the future she will be awesome once again.

This is what the crown vic I wanted to buy looked like except the one I wanted was graphite colored.

Here's my moms vic

And here's my poor baby...

on a side note, I de-badged

And as a final thought, here's a photochop I did, and a little preview of how she might look, except im getting new rims.

and on another note, here's a little Christmas present I got. (man I haven't updated in forever lol)

2 12 Inch Kicker Solo-Baric L5's and a PS3

Feel free to leave comments since I haven't talked to any of you in forever!!!

baaa the neon just needs a spit shine put on her and she will be fine

and well some matching rims might be nice lol shrugs

No point in any bashing... we have all had our bad times with our cars. Mine looks like crap right now, I cant wait for warmer weather so I can spend some time on it. Congrats to your mom on her new car!! Hope she likes it!!!!

thank you dee dee!!!

UPDATE:

I washed her up, for some Pirelli tires, got my rims back on, painted my trunk flat black as a start to what I want to do with the car, I also tinted my stock tails, I will get day shots soon but night will have to do for now. comments are welcome.

Will be updating more, got some pics of me putting my new alternator in the firebird. This will be my new progress log for the Firebird from now on, no use starting a new thread. look back for pics within the next few days.

Well, sorry they are up late, my procrastinating and the fact that I forgot about this thread are the reasons lol, I know they aren't some major updates or anything, but I figure I will keep updating with little things to in case some people do care about it. well anyway here are the pics.

The pics were taken as I was doing my routine maintenance on all the vehicles and before the bird was cleaned up.

Well, my latest update isn't a good one...The motor threw a rod the other night so...On a positive note, if what im trying to do happens the way it's supposed to then I should be getting something similar to this...

NeonBluSXT · Post by **NeonBluSXT** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 9:21 pm

Again Im sorry to hear about your car Derek - I hope everything works out the way you want it to and you can get that motor you want. You can pimp the GM shows like you said LOLOL

Well, as it turns out theres more damage done then I thought, for awhile I was going to back out of a motor swap because my "buddy" that was going to help me do it bailed on me. so I was gonna try and get it fixed. but it looks too far gone...so as of right now it looks as if I will be fixing my neon, putting it back on the road and putting the firebird under the car cover untill me and a group of my friends can pull the motor and go and get a used 350, we will be replacing alot of stuff on the motor we get and making sure it's in good running condition before we put it in the firebird. sorry for the long delays in the updates. I will update you guys more as soon as I have more info.
