Take your time
Find a good starter, and make a Christine II. Use I's remains as a donor. There are many Neons out there that need the tender care of a loving hand like yours. Thinking about it, with that much air time, there's no way for the frame to be straight. My parents once warped the frame of a Buick Wildcat...

(cue Willie Nelson music)
So, you did a "Dukes of Hazard" in a car w/o beefed up suspension, and lived to tell the tale. Congrats! And, I'm glad your American built car protected you. Get better, hang in there. I recommend a frame shop first. Get that as straight as possible first. It's a Neon, and you love her. Even if you ...

Making horsepower, the old fashioned way
http://imgur.com/Lojaq.jpg Circa 1800's. Not fast, but this beast could really pull a huge plow.[/img] Saw this in a local parade yesterday, running under it's own power. A couple of years ago, I saw this one and another slightly different one pulling a two-story house (on iron wheels) around a fai...

I laugh at WRX's
Near LA on Angeles Crest/Angeles Forest roads, I had a WRX pull over to let me pass. I was in a 98 Taurus, ATX, 3.0 push-rod with great Micheline tires. I learned to drive in the hills of eastern TN, and I'll hang a curve to the limit of traction. Wore out both lower ball joints in three months. Enj...
Mine's a little different
I'm told it's from a mid-80's Pontiac Gran Prix. Good luck with the junk yards. I think it looks cool, and it does add real downforce, which helps with those cross-winds in the plains states. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4012/4604786123_d6fbc2515b_o.jpg BTW, anyone know how to add some spring to t...

Took US 60 west to Farmington, NM - very nice through the national forests, some good mountain roads for a starter. US 550 north to Silverton CO. Over 10K altitude. Ha...

I just had the driver's side - side rip repaired
Ripped but covered for 10+ years. Now intact. $165 for the repair, just for you to gauge seat purchase. This was at an upholstery shop.

WTB lower right splash guard that covers harmonic balancer
It's the plastic molded part that bolts to the fender and lower radiator brace, and comes between the drive belts and the ground. Mine evaporated during the recent painting session. And my belts slip during the recent hard rains here (2" in one hour this morning). If someone has one in good shape, I...

I'm considering putting new mirrors on both sides - with LED turn sigs. Other items on the list: Re-cover seats - drivers side was ripped when we bought her 10 years ago. Build LED exterior lights - I don't want rice-burner rip-offs. Projector headlights, maybe go HID Bra to keep to bugs off her nos...
