    Re: Before and After

    Not a huge difference over the few years I have owned the car, but this was the best pic I had of the car a few years ago.




    This was at the SDAC car show this year.

    Re: Before and After

    It stinks I only have a few from when I first got the T-Riz, and they're not very good since they were taken on a disposable. I threw one up of when I got hit in 1/05, then a couple more recent shots.

    Hopefully plans I have for this winter will lead me to posting more updated ones come spring.

    Re: Before and After

    The car was ditched and rear ended when I picked it up, 86 Town&Country 2.5L TBI automatic.

    After the TII swap and 5spd swap. I also changed the front and rear bumpers to the 85 style.

    answer 1 ... It was my D.D. from 01-06

    answer 2... it runs well so there hasn't been a huge necessity to pull that motor out and swap in one of the handful of turbo motors lying around here


    Best part is that I got hit head on while on my way to pick my Gram's K-Car up from being inspected! lol....



    Kaleb, I love the Daytona man.
