Well some of you know that my car has been through an accident...NOT MY FAULT. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hmmm.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hmmm:'> Well the aftermath was crazy and just too much to explain, but in the end I finally got my car back.
I changed the front end to the 97-98 looks and also installed a N1 dual exhaust. The biggest problem was my tie rod which was bent to a "V" shape. But thanks to Josh (a.k.a BEISSEN) I got my tie rod fixed. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> He also helped me with to get the fenders on and install the exhaust. But in both cases I had to redo everything since we half assed the job (realign fenders, fix missing bolts and exhaust leaks). Well below are some random pics I decided to post, you'll notice that the front end is darker than the rest of the car. That because it was fresh new paint and I didn't clean or wax the rest of my car. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'> But I'm waiting to get a body kit (hopefully BN Sports) before I recoat my whole car to make it look brand spanking new. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/notify.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':notify:'>

<font size="1"><li>This is how my car came from the body shop. Since they didn't do any repairs they left it defaced and marked up all over for every single scratch and ding on my car. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hmmm.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hmmm:'> BTW that's Josh getting ready to work on the tie rod.</li>

<li>This when I slapped on my old bumper and headlights with the new fenders. I did this so I can drive my car to a shop and install the exhaust. NOTHING LINES UP...my car was looking ghetto and I was scared it was going to fall apart. Anyone like my S14ab with a little bit of c (crap) </li> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/turn.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':turn:'>

<li>This is how the car looked once I got all the parts on. The parts came in a nice black color. I wish I could have done it to the rest of the car, but it wasn't primed and could rust easily once the coating was scratched off. My car looks pretty damn nice in the rain.</li> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

<li>The finished product, now I just need to recoat my car.....or just clean it and give it a good wax.</li> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/notify.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':notify:'>

I still need to do some work to my car and hopefully when I'm done I will have a set of AGX's, painted rims and new tires. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>
