ive also pressure washed the bay with a high heat washer and did the same with most of the front undercar. if my teacher would let me id love to put it on the lift and wash the bottom as well.

No I didn't get the chance to paint it. My teacher said it's too much to do to. But don't worry it will be done. Once I get the money for my 5 speed swap I'll do it thenplus I could decide on the color. But I want to paint the car first.

I mean that it looks great in the pic. It is a lot of work to do it right. Someday when I do a full restoration on mine, I'll paint the bay. Until then, meh. I have assorted color parts in there right now anyway since the wreck, so whatever.No I didn't get the chance to paint it. My teacher said it's too much to do to. But don't worry it will be done.

Low is a Lifestyle, and I'm living the life.
thx. it looks decent cosmeticly except fot the dent in the rear quarter panel and the wrinkled rear left door. oh and of course my crazy bumper sag. everything else is fine cosmeticly. the interior need replacing now but thatll be way later down the road.

Why are the front wheels on backwards?
Lol that's actually a long story from when I got the car. I wasn't supposed to have a key to it but I got a copy anyway. I went for a joyride and ended up shredding the drivers side tire. Of course with my luck the car was parked backwards so you could see it coming down the road. An to add to it my mom literally called me when I parked and said she was on her way home. So me and my girlfriend jacked up the car and swapped the two tires so she wouldn't be able to see it. Lol I still got caught because she saw me carrying the shredded tire to get a new one but I never got around to swapping them back

You know that's kinda bad on your tires, right? They were made to be on their respective side. Not that that really matters, but they're probably balanced, which is the bad part.
Yea but the most motion it gets for now is being pushed maybe 10 yards to the lift or inside the shop. But I'm going to switch them back now that I actually noticed it. Plus I'll be getting rid of the oe rims eventually and getting new rims. But I'm doing that at the same time I lower it

Are the wheels curbed or damaged at all? If not, I'd do $50 plus shipping if it's not horrible.
theyre kinda curbed but not horrible.the worse case is the front drivers side rim has scratches on the inside of the rim because my control arm drug on it for like 5 mins..
