My 85 coupe pictures..

Post by S »

i finally found out how to load my album. the first pictures are of this summer before i put it in the garage. the car is lookin sad. i do have a rear bumper and front valance in the back maybe you can tell

the interior shot is really old from my old old car domain site.. still as clean though no one smokes or eats or drinks in it. and it has a hurt pro comp shifter to boot (to move the W-C built helicial T-5, dual friction centerforce clutch and race flywheel)

im leaing for the Air Force April 8th im from ohio going down to texas for boot. the cars just going to sit till i have the money to dump like 20,000 instead of a couple thousand a year. still runs though

i have a 8.8 with 410's i just got last month, its missing right now needs a tune but then brakes tires etc just too much money for it to be kind of fast but anyways here you all go! know mine wont be sold and will stay with me till its complete. enjoy the shamble!!

Is your tat real? That is great! You might want to let her sit inside if your heading off for the air force for a few years. Cars can downhill pretty fast outside in your neck of the woods. Good luck!

ha thanks for turning that around. yes it is REAL i did just find out that they have ones that only last a year or so but i got it at TAT-2-U in lima ohio.. it didnt hurt too bad but on the bone i need to get a new one it looks WAY better in that picture it looks like it has a red inside. thats because it was scarin up and such.. once it peeled it is almost EXACTLY the right orange i was VERY surprised how close of a light popsicle orange it is now. ha

and PETER im not dropping out haha i graduate march 18th with my hi po associates degree and T-TEN. i leave april 8th for columbus ohio and ship to texas. i figured id join because well. i dont have parents to support me at all . if i break my arm, the military pays for it. my dentist, insurance, travel . some draw backs but overall they will be like supporting parents to me when i need it ha

but i do recoment getting an ascMcLaren tat. lots of people i know have cobras(and dont even own one) and such . this car literally changed my life from when i was 15 to now so. GO GET ONE!!! (it was 120$)

and the sig yea i got my friend online to make it for me, mine looks too bad lol and yours is pretty much my fav. even the rims..

i do have my car in "storage" off house not heated bark like garage.. im going to get a car cover and some automotive paint plastic stuff you put over cars from my uncles paint shop.. would that be good or bad ?? would it trap moisture or??

and how to keep mice away. people will kick moth balls around on the ground. in the car will stink. i heard dryer sheets??

I wouldn't put the plastic over the car. If anything I would put the plastic on the floor first and park your car on the plastic.

i knew you were close to being done congrats! i thought you were going to join without finishing but if your going to be done go for it!

also you dont hvae to put the moth balls in the car you can put them in the barn then the mice will stay out of your barn. your car will still smell the same and will be mice free. i also would not put any plastic on the car just buy a quality cover.
