Default some things i have been up to with my SC

started doing the interior, and yea they are all iphone pics, but hey i was waiting for new lens to come in so its all i had. still working on a few exterior tweaks, and the interior should be wrapped up soon, so i will do a little photoshoot this coming weekend. so heres a little some something for ya in the mean time.

here's how she was in the beginning, super clean, and i really didnt have much to do on the outside. all ive done is a little tint on the tails, and im going to limo tint the car and put 3000k foglights on it. otherwise...nothing to be done really.






a little tint on the tails




a bunch of before pics









little bit of a cluster DIY

i didnt realize how much work it was until the interior was pretty much gutted.....and then i started finding little issues here and there, as i as removing things, little plastic pieces would break here and there (20 year old plastic) so i either goop glued them back on, or had to hunt around for an sc at the junk yard...all in all i could say i dont want to do this again, but i know whatever car i pick up next, i will end up doing the same thing. haha. it was quite a pain at times. but from what people keep saying when they see it, they say it looks amazing. so that makes me feel better. haha..the main problem im having right now is the cluster. i have 2 clusters, and each one that goes in, same thing happens. 4 total lights out in the same spot, no matter where you put the bulbs. so its a little frustrating.
