My cars come along way. It used to be a lonley old NA, and ive spent the last 5 years making it what it is to this day. So i wanted to see how i could do with this whole photography thing. Im using a little 150 dollar camera, and not editing them at all, just croping. I know my cars dirty, and has dents, and dings, and missing clear coat, and scrathes, but i think she cleans up alright....

What do you think?

Car looks good! Pics are pretty good, pretty good composition for most of them! Only suggestion is to try some different angles (so you don't have 3 pics of basically the same shot), and watch your background. The 2nd pic is killer, but the third has that chain link fence. Try and keep the background as uniform as possible.

Not bad for a onefiddy camera! Keep on shooting :)

Looks a little over exposed. Looking good though. A little drop and it would be WIN.

Thanks all! This is the first time ive really ever tried taking pictures :)

Im happy! And the car is lowered, and i think its fine the way it is. I like being able to go over speedbumps, and the car handles fantastic! Much better than eibach/intrax springs.

Could use a drop and different exhaust... But I actually like it a lot. I dont really like the 86-88 front ends but I would rock that car for sure!

The car is lowered much more than stock. I used aerospeed springs and i love it the way it is. Its not too low, and not too high. This is how it should have been from the factory. I can easily go over speedbumps and such, which ill take anyday over looks. The whole reason i built this car is :

Function > form

I am in the process of making a new exhaust system. Full three inch, and i already have a bic DDP. Im using a magnaflow resonator, with a stealth resonator as my muffler, and it will be painted flat black. Im not a fan of flashy exhausts, as it jsut shows off whats under the hood.

Besideds the front mount, which will be painted black very soon, you wouldnt be able to tell my cars turbo.

I think your car looks great, and I like the stance of it as well. Most cars can be lowered a little more, but yours isn't in 4 x 4 mode. I"m not a big fan of burgandy, but I'm digging yours with the wingless look. Great job..............:love:
