PimpCL23's New Project Car
so... after my (literal) fender bender... i was driving my mom's van to work. i ended up putting $100 worth of gas just to get to work (and that was only for 5 days!!! i said "screw it.. ima buy another car!"
i now have both the CL and my "new" car now.
introducing the newest member to my family... (still no name for her)
This is when i first bought it
I got some coilovers from my cousin.
And... After Slammage
Just thought Id share

there are a couple pics that are "HDR" (3 pics in 1.)
different exposures... DARK... MID... and BRIGHT. i used a program called Dynamic Photo HDR to combine the pics together.
the rest of the pics i shot in RAW. just messed with the contrast a lil... but nothing major to change the pics

Sounds clean as hell too!How's it run? The only thing cosmetically that needs attention it looks like is the paint. What color do you think you're going to repaint it? I've always liked teggys, but I've never seen this gen in person. I think she has potential!
What are you going to do with the CL though?

Well, "rough" is the keyword to describe this car:

At least the interior isn't that bad, other than the stains:
http://s213.photobucket.com/albums/c...rainterior.jpg
But hey, it's free. I'm only spending about 600$ to fix it up, as that's what I'm saving on insurance (driving it in the winter, good ole cl tranny's slipping in cold). Hopefully I can make it about as good as this (but I obviously won't be able to yet):

Right, I'm starting to try and find some junkyards to get a quarter and some wheels...but other than that, at least it's a project =) If my gf ends up getting her DC5 by fall however, I get her DC4 =))) I love the oldschool DA3, but a 3rd gen (even if it is an RS) beats em anyday.
