Talking Post your "before and after" pics...

Since it's crappy weather here and I am bored I figured it's time for some gratuitous photo posting.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours (even though it will always be a "work in progress").

Here it is 2 years ago when I bought it (photos were taken by previous owner) . 80's style OZ wheels, worn-out stock suspension, wimpy brakes, high, and in need of some paint TLC (but still a nice example at that time, IMHO):






Here it is now after I have almost doubled my purchase price in TLC, suspension, wheels, upgrades, maintanence, goodies, etc.:






Now, show me your before and after pics! I challenge you. NOT just one photo of the car, but at least 2 photos that show a change over time....

turbopop,
Now ~that's~ what I call a project car.

Tell us more about the repaint. That's definitely a unique color. "Margarita" comes to mind...

OZ;You and Perry have done the most beutiful restorations I've ever seen,,absolutely immaculate both of 'em. I imagine you've had opinions pro and con over your choice of color. It seems that with yellow, you either love it or hate it, there's no middle ground. Personally, I love it. It takes your car from the eighties to the new millenium. <img src="graemlins/bigok.gif" border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" />

Turbopop-
Is that the car you had for sale on here a while back? I wish I could get rid of my 924 and pick that up if it is. Maybe by the spring if you still have it!
