Few more.

1980 AMC concorde nicknames the CAMCORD.
I put a stock camaro spoiler on the back, and tail lights off a 60's chevy. Front turn signals were off a 70's bronco. Threw the white paint job on it, and finished with some red racing stripes. Got LOTS of looks and questions on it!

here is one from when I was 17, a 1988 ford thunderbird turbo coupe. I painted the lower section with a medium gray, and removed the door locks (couldn't afford to do the door handles, as that requires door poppers etc.) there was a keypad above the door handle factory to unlock it.
Painted the 2 little scoops on the hood red. and threw 15x10 rear and 15x8 front wheels on it. I also put a 6 cd changer in the center console. it was a fun car, its not a FAST car, but it was fairly quick for back in the day.

this was a cutlass ciera , I believe 1989?? this was also at age 17. I bought it for $50 and then cut the top off of it! used it all summer (when it wasnt raining!) and then a junkyard gave me $100 for it. I had the most fun in this car.

1979 plymouth volare, had this one at 16 this was my 3rd car. it was pea green. so I rattle canned it black, and threw white racing stripes, yep got some guff for that one (skunkmobile) also painted the interior black. Ended up taking out the rear seat to fit 2 15" subs. but never finished it. sold it for $100 after a few months, just what I paid for it.

here is one of me on the jet ski we had last summer, sold that too.

and last one I will post is one of me on my moms ex husbands 4 wheeler. it was 2 wheel drive, and was a 250. pretty gutless, but if you pulled back real hard while punching the gas it would pull off a wheelie.

thats just a SMALL look at what I have owned. I do NOT have pictures of all of them, but of about a 1/3. I have had approx 95.

Body Damage is Cool
Iron your sportage looks great, what lift do you have again? And did you do a body lift?

Those are 30x9.5 tires in that pic right? That is encouraging, they look good on there, I am probably going with this size but I keep worrying that I will wish I got 31's. I just don't know if it's worth it to go with 31's, your rig looks pretty good the way it is. In terms of odometer / speedometer readings, the 30's are 9% off whereas the 31's are 12%, that 3% difference seems like a pretty significant jump, also when I drove 31's it seemed like there was a noticeable loss of power compared to 30's.

2001 Isuzu trooper 4x4, LSD factory rear. 68k miles. I loved this thing except it only got 13 MPG and its a 3.5 v6. AWESOME off road in stock form.

I agree, Coily rear Troops are way underestimated as a off-road rig. The rear lower control arms are 34" and some Zookers use them when building long-arm coily set-ups. Out of the box, they were awesome. With a 3" Calmini set-up, they were fantastic.

Here's a quiz...

[Linked Image]

[Linked Image]

What year is that car? Make? Model? And what size engine did it have? And who's the kid in the pix?

One clue: The pix were taken in Summer 1974.

First to answer all questions correctly gets an e-cookie! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />
