Default Refreshed my daughter's car, Josh B, do you remember this car!!

I purchased this car from Josh a while back as a shell. He got it from a guy that had started parting it, and he got a few more parts off of it. I will post some before pics, and some after pics. I ended up stripping the car completely down, and replaced all the interior. Got the car back together, but just now got a chance to get the paint work done. Take a look at the before and after pics .

i thought that the first picture was going to be it, and i still said oh my god.... i thought it was too good of shape to be one that was parted, looks like original paint with a few scrapes.
what you started with is better than the car that i drive...

The first car I got her, was a automatic, it went for a backwards ride down a really steep hill hitting every tree on the way down!! I had completely rebuilt the engine, so I took that engine and interior and put it in the shell I got from Josh. I also had to install ALL the break lines, fuse box, and some wiring harness on the front. I ended up converting all the suspension to late off-set, and installed a 951 rad, with the proper bottom mount. The wheels are 18's. And yes, that dash has no cracks!!!
