    hey guys new here just thought id say hello to all. im on my second truck/yota my first was an 83 that rusted in half. motor still ran great but the frame was shot along with the body. my new truck is an 89 with not an ounce of rust on it. i traded it to some old lady for my 93 bonnivelle SE. i had that car for prolly 3 weeks i think. lol well anyways its a slow work in progress i got half of it painted black then realized that the compressor we were using was set way to high for my gun and it blew every seal out of it so im waiting on a new gun. heres some pics of it so far. let me know what ya think

    and yes thats a fart can on the back. we were bored one night at a buddies house and we found this can off his old car so we broke out the saw and welder to see wat it would sound and look like. it doesnt sound to bad and its pretty funny looking. everyone who sees it laughs but thats why we did it to make ppl laugh

    thanks i have finally got my hids in. im running the 10k. you wouldnt belive the difference in light quality, if you do decide to go hids i would suggest getting the slim ballasts. i have the big ones and sometimes the saftey switch deal in the ballast kicks on during the day wen i turn my lights on so only one or none will turn on. its wierd but my buddies has the slims in his car and never has that problem, it might be my alt thats making it do it

    thanks for the compliments guys. the rims are actually off of an 05 chevy malibu. i had to get .25" spacers cuz i didnt want to drill out the centers. and the vent windows are like a love/hate relationship with me. i really dont like the way they look but they are so good when it rains. i just sold my minivan i had for a 3/4 drop kit. the van was beat to hell and my ex needed a car so i told her that if she buys me a lowering kit its hers. lol i may be doing a 7m swap this summer in it but im trying to get as much info on it as possible. all my buddies have pretty quick cars and my lil 22re is not the best at high highway speeds. im just tired of always being the last in line cuz im too slow

    lol not only are we in the vent window club, but we are also the slow guys. the funny thing is, is that if they break down geuss who gets to tow them off the highway
