That's one ugly car...but I like it. A lot.

Why leave the stereo, rear door panels, and glass windows in place? Is that your daily driver? I would think a car used only for racing would have lexan windows and absolutely nothing inside that didn't make the car faster or lighter.

It WAS my daily driver, but it started becoming race only, especially because the freaking D1 dropzones are unbearable in the city.

now i have no car lol, i only take that one when theres no other option like i cant use any of the other cars in the house (dad, mom, sis) but i try not to take it out, its too unconfortable.

The rear panels are still in because i didnt need to take them out to build the roll-cage but ill take them out in a couple of days.

And the windows havent been replaced mainly because of the money, right now im going to put rear disk brakes and slotted front disks, also i need new tires and i desperately need a header because the stocker is a HUGE bottle neck now.

Oh, about the stereo well, sometimes i have to drive long distances for the events, so i plug my 10 CD box to make it less boring hehe.

Actually i still have the A/C, wich doesnt work (probably it doesnt have gas), but im taking it out pretty soon too.

Im in negotiations with MOPAR for an sponsorship in 2006, if that thing works out well you are going to see one sweet neon ;)



PS: yeah i also think its kind of ugly because of the steelies & the color doesnt help, but theres no person in this world that doesnt turn arround to check it out, because it also makes an infernal noise :)

Wow. Yeah, definitely NOT a daily driver, huh? :) It'd sure look funny loading groceries into, though. :lol:

Who cares if it doesn't have the "show" looks. It is what it is, and that's probably fast as hell!

Its painted, imagine the cost to powder coat that thing :lol:, the guy who painted it said it was a pain in the ass since he had to repaint every welding :lol:

It cost me USD$1,000 wich i bet is dirty cheap for that kind of work in the states but thats like the only thing cheaper in here, im paying way more then you guys for my other mods trust me :lol:
