what would you do?

after i finish my motor, my plans where to dirve the car manly for testing for the rest of the summer, and then begin to build a real suspension, with tubular K member, subframe connectors, lower it, stiffen it upp i all kind i can, and hopefully by a strange 12 bolt, or mooser 9"

this is the thing i realy want to do,

but, its kinda of sad, my car is a realy unmolested one, only driven 31k and adult owned, its still has the oem paint, and after it has not bin mooved since sptember the paintjob is started to look like crap.. kids lokking in the windows scrapin the doors and ppl bangin theyr doors to it,

the car does realy need a paint job,

so i am wondering, should a paint it and do everything to the look i want, and just finish that part, hood rims paint and more,

or should i just let it look this way and finish bulding supsension, and even take the motor further,

took the SS rims of it, and put them under my freinds car for a car show, when a saw my car on her 16" trans am wheels i was kinda sad, 10k in mods and the car has never lokked worse




i dont know what i will do,

but it would be fun to get some opinions from people just a crazy as i am

I agree it depends on which direction ya wanna go...show or street beast. Pretty much your call, but I recently (like a month ago) got a 98 Z28 that was also unmolested and completely stock inside and out. I put an SS cowl on it, and I'm prob doing the exhaust, SLP lip and CAI next. I would really like to find some SS wheels soon as well.

From the pic, your car really doesn't look bad at all. From an exterior point of view, all it really needs is some different wheels and the exhaust fixed. I say go suspension and performance.

Where is your 10K in Mods and what in the world is a Mooser 9"? Is it a rearend with a big rack?

Most definately some wheels and lowering springs.

And if I had extra money to throw around, i'd paint it.

I'd say go with performance/suspension mods first! Me .....I'm doing a little of everything. Once my motor gets here I'm gonna finish some exterior mods as wells as my suspension and brakes. :banghead:

Yea Id probobly finish up with the performance and suspension then go all out with the apperance mods. I know if it was me and I spent a butt load on apperance it would be a long while till I got the time to spend on the suspension and **** so Id just get it done and over with first.
