Nice work. I believe in driving the car and I'll let the next owner clean and polish it.

Good Job

I doubt you'll get an extra penny for that, or for expensive options either, especially in this market.

I think around 15,000 miles...
Not sure...been a while since I have had the chance to look!
I did try to sell the car a bit ago and only had one person interested,thus why I decided to supercharge it!
If I can't sell it,I may as well have fun with it!

Yes it is a similiar product to simple green.I wet the wheel wells,spray it on and us a soft paint brush to scrub all the cracks and crevaces.I cannot wait until I get a hoist,so I can pressure wash the underneath on regular basis!

Just a no name brand car soap.If it is only dusty I use a dust cloth to get up most of the dust and then wipe with a showroom shine spray.

I use all kinds but I kinda want to try something a little more expensive to see if their is a difference.

Do you have a pictures or conceptual colored drawings of your emblem.
What cost do you think it will be coming in at. Will your friend be offering them for sale or is this a one off for you. Sounds amazing

Well guys,

Winter time here again.It usually IS pretty rainy here in Vancouver this time of the year so the insurance is off and the jack-stands are under the car.

I think it is going to be pretty tough out-doing last winter's projects(Modified VF supercharger) BUT I am going to do a few more things this year.

ON the list IS:
1-IF my VF supercharger sells,it will be replaced with a TPC turbo.I would love to be one of the people who have tried both.

2-install the Apps tracking system.It is a very cool system in which everything is able to be checked via the internet.IF this car moves at all,it sends me an email,text and/or phone call.The system is also monitored by satellite.....

3-take the bumpers off,pull the headlights and under trays and clean the whole car

4-install the water/meth system I have been accumulating parts for

5-if I have time I am going to make some custom bumperettes for the back bumper

Worst part is over.......getting it on jack-stands!

Let the games begin!
