[tookwik4u89]

So, I'm gonna start off with some pics, and edit the original post later with details and goals. DaSoup is bugging the bejesus out of me to post pics, and make a new build thread to hang out in. This thread will only be temporarily lame.......I hope!

Parts I have accumulated waiting for install...

Bomex skirts
Kaminari rear
A1 traction arms
3" exhaust cutout
McCord power plate
billet aluminum P/S reservoir
Adjustable cam gears....still waiting on cams.....ahem....buckshot, youre not alone!
Tookwik ignition mod is in, waiting on a new cover.
Battery disconnect switch

Coming soon.....18's, coilovers, big brakes!
BACK IN THE DAY! 7/03

MORE RECENT 12/06.....

Currrent work in the last couple weeks.....I started with the worst part......moulding in side skirts.....yuck!

I have 10 or 12 dings to work out and this nasty rust spot!

 

[BorHor]

Rust FTL. Looking good though.

 

[tookwik4u89]

Ya....I can deal with 1 rust spot on the hatch, the rest is rust free. Thanks Bor!

Hey new thread whoot!!!!

Wow Red and Sawblades and you still bought it?????:biglaugh:

Car is looking great and I am looking forward to the new thread for all of us to make fun of you in Ken!!!!:icon_bigg

 

[suprahero]

Nice job Ken. I've wanted side skirts ever since I bought my car, but my wife won't let me buy any. She doesn't like the way they look. If I hadn't had so much other things to spend my money on, I would have bought some myself. I chose to go with a smaller engine instead...............:biglaugh:

 

[tookwik4u89]

Jay, I always just wanted the maxx bumper, but when I saw the skirts and the rear on Grants car, I liked them alot seeing them in person.....so, I went home with more parts than I planned on that trip.....lol. I guess the sleeper look is out the window!!

 

[da89soup]

I chose to go with a smaller engine instead...............:biglaugh:

Well you know what they say Jay, Its not the size that counts!!! Oh wait is it they that said that or Vixen??? Oh well reguardless Its ok to be small!!!:biglaugh:

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Very Nice!

Your Car is pretty sweet dude.

 

[suprahero]

I guess the sleeper look is out the window!!

Yeah, ricer is going to look way better.................:biglaugh:

JK, I love the sideskirts and I think it's going to look way better. I loved it before, but now you'll be on another level. You and Kwnate will be on one level and Ryan and I will only be able to aspire to be on that level................:nono:

Just don't forget the little people that got you where you are. Ryan and I knew you when you were just a little Chicago MKIII owner with a weakass'd automatic tranny..............:biglaugh:

 

[suprahero]

Well you know what they say Jay, Its not the size that counts!!! Oh wait is it they that said that or Vixen??? Oh well reguardless Its ok to be small!!!:biglaugh:

Now I see why you wanted him to start another thread. You just didn't feel right thrashin me in my own thread, but it's o.k. in Kens................:nono:



Luckily for me, Vixen likes a small man...................:icon_redf

 

[da89soup]

Wow even Kyle showed up here!!! Ken is surrounded by Blue, and mostly Gay.....lol

 

[tookwik4u89]

LMAO.....who said reds and blues cant get along, the whole thread is full of all my blue buddies.....welcome Hells!

Jay...its still weak....but its saying its prayers and eating its vitamins!

 

[suprahero]

I'm drinking milk and I'm getting bigger and stronger everyday.............:biglaugh:
