My 97 Gst ( 56k Beware)

[coralfishg]

hay guys.. im new to the site.. but just wanted to show off some of my work in process. a little bit of background info on it.. it's a 97 gst. some of the mods include - shaved everything (emblems, rain gutters, rear wiper, handles, locks), tail light conversion, suicide doors, frenched antenna, fender flares, completly molded body kit (aggressor front, blitz rear, redora sides)
as far as the engine.. there is not much done yet. i am not the best person to have under the hood of a car (i don't know ****) but some of things that are going on the car is - fluidline radiator with phal fans, injen intake, greddy fmic, and a greddy blow off.. the only thing that i still need to get is a upgraded turbo.. i haven't decided which one to go with.. the car is still in the body work process so the engine is pretty much torn apart.
the interior will house a tottal of 8 tv's. two in the doors, two in the back seats, one where the stock gauges go, one where the air bag is, fold out tv,dvd,cd,tuner, one in the back hatch area. the hole interior will be done in fiberglass. the interior process is just now starting, so i will have more details as the project progresses
as far as suspension.. there is a set of blow jax air cylinders to lower the car.. as far as rims there's a set of 18" ferretti palmera's on there now.. im still not shure if these rims will stay on the car.. there brand new, but there a little to bling, bling for me..

well enough talk here's some pictures

here's what the car looked like when i got it.. at this point i had already put the body kit on the car.

Looks awsome man. Nice work. How long did the entire body work process take?

[joemomma95]

Looks like tons of fun, sandpaper fest!! Lovin the suicide doors, they look good on any car. Is the construction pics what it looks like now or are those old pics?? I vote for more pictures, maybe some of the entire car as it sits now, and maybe some closer pics of your wife :lol: , j/k don't take offense.

lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!ahhahaahahaha i second that...... :P

hay guys.. thanks for the comment's. joe, your right it is tuns of fun :P the fiberglass sanding is even more fun.. the doors took forever to get right (6 months alone), my main thing was that i didn't want the door's to sag at all.. i had to completly cut into the unibody to hang the hinges.. the pictures of the construction is what it looks like now.. those other pictures are what the car looked like when i took my first stab at a show car. i decided i wanted to go all out this time

mr wilde. so far the entire process has taken 2 years and 30k.. there is alot more than meets the eyes. almoast everything that i know i won't be upgrading or replacing has been chrome plated in the engine. just the chrome alone has cost me a grand. the hole undercarrige has been sand blasted to a complete smooth surface, when the car is done the undercarrige and all will be painted.

im hoping to have everything done within one more year. im fortunate to have a real good body guy, but he has been working on it when he has extra time, he makes his real money from insurance jobs, so those have priority over other projects. im in no real hurry, i just want to make shure everything gets done right this time..

now on to the wife.. im always wiling to show off the love of my life :D :o
she's a model, and does other random internet jobs :P
