Allen88LX's Progress Thread

[Notch]

Since no one knows him and he hardly posts on here, I'm posting his project for him since I am doing a shit ton of work on it. He's 17 and looking for just a fun car for the summer. He'll be a porkies regular in this car this coming summer.

What we are starting with is a '88 LX 5.0 shell originally from Nevada. He picked it up from Pro2000GT before the snow flew this last fall or whenever.

The plans for the car are:
-stock 5.0 5 speed
-speed density for now
-titanium frost paint or whatever the fuck its called
-5 lug swap
-'96 cobra wheels
-black interior
-lowering springs
-subframe connectors

So far, this is where we are at. We are building the engine and putting the interior together. Since this started without any interior, we are sourcing parts from our t-boned parts car, once again thanks to pro2000gt for that, and dying the pieces black.

The only other update before we get to the pics is that we now have the front fenders, front bumper, hood, rear bumper, both tail lights, and drivers door on the car.

anyways, onto the pics.

The car:


Engine bay that we painted black


Interior with the brand new black carpet laid in it(ala 50 resto black interior kit)

That's a lot of work for a stock motor.

You could piss better pictures in the snow.

ya, but he is only 17 and the only car he has ever had has been a jeep grand cherokee. He can do upgrades later, but for now we are just shooting for a nice, clean, stock car.

And he didn't know much about cars before this build, so he is learning a lot from it instead of just buying one and upgrading it.

I was afraid to talk to him, I thought he was cute and was trying not to look at him because it was hard to do without picturing him naked.
