Thread: This Girl found a Real Gem :)

I promise, pics tonight!!! Done with DMV and everything. I got plates, it's ALL MINE!

Here are those pics I promised you!







Obviously, there is a lot to do here.

I haven't even gotten the chance to clean it up. First thing I'm going to do this Saturday is take it for an oil change and to top off all the fluids.

As far as visual modifications, I have a few ideas in mind... BUT... I only spent $1500 on this car. If there is something I want to do to it to improve aesthetics, I will either learn how to do it myself or it simply won't get done. I don't want to hire anyone to do it for me. That said, these are the projects I've thought of so far:

1) Thorough interior/extrerior detailing. I will clean it all myself in my driveway. There are some minor surface scratches I'd like to get out, but I think I'll need a buffer for that. I'll try to google how to do it and I'll try to find someone who has one I can borrow.

2) It's funny, everyone seems to complain about the front bumper on this car, but I actually kind of like it. It makes it look a little more muscle-like to me. I have a bigger problem with the rear bumper to be honest. There are some paint cracks back there on the driver's side. I plan to either replace the entire rear bumper (if I can figure out how to do it) or just repaint the one that's on there.

3) Get the moisture out of the tail lights. THAT bugs me. I'm going to try to take them off and use a hairdryer, then seal them back up if I can find a tutorial on how to do that.

Overall, I love this car. If I can figure out inexpensive ways to improve its appearance, I'll do it. All it'll cost me is time and I've got some of that on the weekends

Thanks for looking! I'd love any input
