Cleaning up the new beater.....
Who says you can't polish a turd. I wish I had taken pictures of the front end before I started.
 I am still going to go back and hit everything that has been done so far again later. But as of right now I think it looks a hundred times better.

haha One day at work my friends girl came in and there car was red like that all oxidized and what not, well i was bringing back some shine and i decided to draw a dick n balls on the hood and let it sit. Lets just say when i wiped it away it was very noticeable.
 Took some extra buffing to get it to blend.

well it would all be done by now if the dbag i was buying a rotary buffer from on craigslist had came thru. So now i am looking for another one. Everything that was done so far was with a POS orbital from advance.

It sounds sweet now... The muffler fell off within the first five mins of driving it.
So today I had a Flowmaster knock off muffler laying around the shop. The exhaust now goes from 1 1/2" after the cat to 2 1/2" piping thru a Thrust muffler and 2 1/2" out the back. It actually sounds pretty good.
