Well guys, I don't have a build thread on here yet, and I guess I'm starting to actually mod my car so I'll need a place to keep track of my progress. Plus, I'm really bored at work lol.
I bought a yellow 1991 Dodge Colt in Dec of 2010, just because I sold my S10 and needed another car. A friend told me about it and said I'd probably like it, so I checked it out and IMMEDIATELY fell in love. Bought it that day after making sure it ran.
Being my first 5-speed, it was a fun learning process, and I'm proud to say I didn't kill it once for the first month, but my launches and shifting were a little weird.
This is Tina, as she would become known, when I first got her.

She was beautiful. PO had her sitting on 17" Giovanni G-Racing rims on the stock height. I've since had 1G FWD Eibach lowering spring installed, but kept stock struts... Cause I was a poor idiot. lol
Last June, I blew a HG and decided to replace the 4G15 with a brand new one... for $1700... Because I'm an idiot lol. But the new engine is amazing, been a great learning experience. I've also managed to crack/completely ruin the Giovannis on a back road going 70 in a pothole minefield. I'm in the "Learning Lessons" phase of life.
I'm in progress of installed/buying twin pot GVR4 brakes and Koni Yellows. As well as reversing all the cancer on the car..
Here she sitting as of a week before I ruined the rims

Plans are to replace the puny 4G15 with a semi-built 4G63T, searching for a donor car now and eventually turning Tina into an AutoX car.
I'll update as more comes along.
