Nice car, man. Looks real clean. I really like those wheels on there, and it's good to see more digi dash goodness!

[zwack88]

VERY NICE. Those explorer sport wheels look great on there. I love what you did with the engine cover also. Keep it up!

[gabegt90]

nice I really like the explore wheels

[tackleberry]

thanks, it had HPP wheels on it, but i hated them. (i know, im a minority in the likings of those rims)
the underhood painting was supposed to be a chrome paint, which it looked chromed out, but as soon as i sprayed that clearcoating sealant on it, it changed it to gray...which was a blessing really not a downfall. matches the interior actually.

the radiator covering still has all the stickers on it so it looks more factory, even tho they are ugly i guess lol. duecenahalf has seen it in person (and who sold me the rims too)
shit like that gets done because im pretty much bored as fuck. so i, instead, do car projects.

was it hard to route the fog light wiring through the door? my brother has the same fog lights as you also in the same place. so are you here to stay or are you gonna go back to cvn? just curious

[tackleberry]

if they dont keep banning me over there for saying the word penis then fuck them. beisdes, im an asshole so i guess i belong here. ill prob hang here and just lurk over there for info.

anyways, it wasnt totally hard really, just more a pain in the ass. i made a thread describing how to push it thru. im really picky about drilling into the dash and shit like that.

if my overhead console concept works, then im gonna move that switch to the overhead instead. but if i do that im gonna leave the wires in the door and tape them off in case i wanna do something again and not have to run wires again, just splice them at the underdash

Nice Vic, not sure if i'm likin the wheels, but it's yer car, and maybe they'll grow on me who knows. And I like your decision to stay here, this definetly is the better site.

[tackleberry]

yea, the wheels do grow on you. when i first saw them on the car i liked, but didnt feel it. they grow on you. mainly tho, i didnt like the HPP wheels, and i got sick of cleaning them. these are a fuckload easier

Very nice '99 - I like it! Reminds me of how cool it'd be to take one around the block one of these days - and I'm kind of liking the rims, as well.

Oh, and since I don't think I've seen you before,

[85crownHPP]

[murphmobile2]
