I just got this car Wednesday, so I thought I would join the forum to see what i could learn. This is the first car I have ever owned, I've always been a mini truck guy, but I couldn't pass this deal up. The car is a '97 with 76,000 miles, 1.8L, auto has an engine swap from a '99 with 50,000 miles and a 2.0 tranny swap with 10,000 miles on it. Has a complete AirRide system with a six switch setup. The dash and seats have been swapped out for some from a 2001. The Kandy paint was just spayed Monday (still needs to be wet sanded and buffed), it is painted in a DuPont Deep Edgewood Blue/ Silver Metallic mix, which looks blue/gray/purple/green depending on how the light hits it. Sorry for the crappy night time pics, I'll get some better pics after I get it sanded and buffed. Right now its rollin on some nasty ass hubcaps, but I'm looking for a set of cheap 17's for it. Also gettin the windows tinted next week. Let me know what you think

Everything that is done to the car was done when i bought it, but it went from a totaled stock to the way it sits today in about a month. I traded my truck straight up for it so about $3,500
