Well, i've owned my car for 2 1/2 years and decided to copy everyone else and make a progress thread of my own.
Before:
The first thing I did after i got my car (and money) was buy new wheels for it. Wheels and tires cost $800 even, shipping included.
Oh yeah, I also did a cold air intake ($40-EBay) the summer before, but I never took pictures of that.
Then I got tired of my car looking like a formal bowtie, so I painted it all one color...

But of course i'm a really cheap guy so i bought Bright White Duplicolor paint. You could tell a diference if you looked closely, but you really couldnt tell that it was a tad brighter (except for at night, it kinda glowed)
Then of course my fox had to have the stiffest springs in the world and the oldest shocks and struts, so i replaced those and shaved down the rubber inserts in the springs, so i wouldnt ride so hard, but corner well. (It was put to the test a week or two ago

My second latest and most fatefull project was installing a shift kit into my AOD transmission. It seemed to go well, but supossedly (according to Aamco) i put it in wrong
And my Latest...
A guy in a Durango backed into my car and So i bought a new fender and today painted it, and repainted my rubber bumper strips to match the rest of the car.

I had to take the old fender off and am now working on putting on my new fender, the 5.0 badge, and pinstriping.
I figured out that when you get all the bolts off but one...there's only one thing to do. RIP OFF THE FENDER!!!
