i just got a brain wave in my sleep........ my NYG repica

Post by dude man » Sun Mar 28, 2010 7:45 pm

soo i was racking in my brain for what kind of project i wanted to go for..... ive never seen a NYG in nova scotia in prison but i know of one and seen pics on the big .org months ago.. so ive been thinking why not do a repica of one and do a rebuild from the ground up... its not going to be the real thing but it will be close to... sence im losing my license for 6 months im going to save the money over a year laying 40 - 60 bucks in my savings every 2 weeks to get this project on the road. to start it off im going to use my 99 flame red EX dohc mtx base shell, strip it fip it sand blast the bottom to see what metal fab that needs to be done. then start my search for parts from sport/rt models from 95-04. there will be a swap for a 2.4 with bolt ons too.

ive been think this will be intresting to do and to see how it will turn out.
also sence my gf smashed her frist 2gn up, im going to take the seats out for this project!

id like to hear what you guys think, and should i head this way. i am going to the dmv to get the color switch on my papers too after i paint it and have it back togetter in one peace.

Just buy my NYG. Already has a rebuilt 2.4 in it, and it's the real thing, and it's already done.

A bra? Your project is off to a bad start, Bras are the best way to rust the front of the hood.
