My 94 Coupe

[dj_5]

Here is my 94 Coupe I bought about 6 months ago. I am finally getting around to working on the car. I have a lot I would like to do with it just trying to decide exactly what as far as performance still. Def needs a motor swap one day. Prolly just a B16 or something.

But here are a few pics of when I first got the car.

The car was lowered with some crap ebay struts that were so bad it would bottom out going down the road and caused me to blow out like 3 tires!

(Sorry the pics arent the best quality I took them with my phone)

After paint, and new shocks..

Ya this is just a temp paint job till I can take it and have it done professionally. I did a roller paint job on it with the rustoleum paint that you see people do on the web for a temp thing. The old paint that was on it was just a spray paint primer that someone put on that was oxidizing really bad. Plus I was constantly getting pulled over. It was originally red and cops harassed me thinking i was running fictitious tags. I know its not perfect but its better till I can get it done.

As far as a drop I dont want the car slammed. I didnt expect when I bought the shocks I put on it that it would go back to a stock height but I have a 3 month old baby and need a smoother ride.

I like it man, I would lower it on Sportline's or Tein springs but other than that looks good. Oh and congrats on the kid, I got a 3yr old and a 6 month old so I know what you mean. lol. I load everyone up in mine, and I got the Sportline Springs.

OK, so it still needs a bit of work, but I like it. Once you get the trim pieces back on the sides and touch up the fender gaps I think it's going to look really good. Keep it up!

I know not everyone is gonna like what I do to my car and thats ok everyone has different taste in what they like, but I honestly think if people would have seen or rode in it the way it used to be they would understand. This is only a temp fix until I can have it painted professionally. The old paint was terrible. Had ruff streaks all over it and over time started to oxidize horribly. The whole roof of my car was almost white from oxidizing. The pics I have posted of it where it was primer'd were like a week after I bought the car and the guy before me had painted for some terrible reason.
