I found this car on Craigslist in Tampa while i was deployed and sent my girfriend down to buy it. This is my third 04 coupe, my first was a twilight blue 6mt with willow interior that was in an accident and I ended up selling it, the second was a black on black coupe auto but I wanted another twilight blue but with black interior this time so my search began. I looked for about 9 months before i found it and didnt hesitate at all when i did find it. This build is going to be my track car, mostly for auto x and road courses but im not opposed to the occasional 1/4 mile and car meet. What I have done is just the tip of the iceberg in whats to come but on to the good stuff.

cant wait to see it put together. Nice car man

no one will steal parts in your area?

 

this is how she sits now. Im awaiting my coils and then I will be starting on my exterior mods. The front bumper needs to be replaced and I am going to replace the skirts as well. Then the whole car is going to be repainted

 

no i live in the middle of nowhere in south georgia lol

 

and thanks ive got alot of hours in it so far, about 25 hours alone in just tucking and cleaning up the engine bay but shes coming along

 

Aren't there a lot of black people in Georgia though?

Damn that's crazy. That picture where you have the whole front end in pieces. Idk how you do that. When I start building up a big parts pile I get nervous and want to go back. And it seems like something always breaks

 

I dont think race has to do with it but i live in the country and its a military town as well so there is alot of military in my neighborhood. And ive been working on cars for as long as i can remember it comes natural to me at this point

 

Seriously?

6MTG twilight coupe's lookin good, like the wheel/tire combo! Why did you tear the frontend down like that? Not required doing a wire tuck....

Please choose your words wisely, this comment almost got you an infraction.

 

Sorry. Was very prejudice i know. What I ment is low life's . I know if you go to the west end of my state. You can't leave your car unlocked.

 

Your car looks great! The before/after picture of your engine bay is dramatic! I hope all your hard work pays off.

 

Thanks gary, and i had 2 bent hood hinges so i needed the fenders off. While they were off i took the opportunity to install my headers and just clean everything real well.

 

Thanks duke in about a month im going to take a week off work and start filling all the unused holes in the bay and tuck the rest. I started filling all the holes in the core support last week and it cleaned it up alot
