t1MMy's XR6

Little bit quiet here so I thought I'd throw up some pics of the car over the time I've had it.

This was the car about 2 years ago, nothing out of the ordinary apart from from some CSA 17" wheels and SSL springs.
Image

Moving on, the old EF motor that was in it had done over 260,000km's and was just using too much oil, so rather than doing a engine re build I put a AU3 XR motor in it and this is it. After the engine swap I did a manual conversion, but I didn't get any pics of it.
Image

Not long after I did the engine swap I got rid of the 17" CSA's and got the 19" GTP's off Pete (pHaT`eL).
Image

When I started spending money on it to make the car look a little bit more respectable, I couldn't stop. Next thing to do was the paint job. Paint was faded pretty bad and was shitting me. While it was in for paint I had a standard boot lid put on it (CBF pfilling holes where the spoiler was) and had the car de badged aswell as the BA bulge.

Image

Image

Car turned out pretty good and I was finally happy with what had been done to it. Don't really have much more to do with it except for some leather interior and that should do me.

1+ for the black and white, I have them on mine and it really sets it off plus well in my case I can throw them on any car I own afterwards and they will suit.

*EDIT*....the GTP's are going to be off the car for a few weeks now. Some little asshole ran out in front of the car today and it was either run him over and kill him, or swerve dangerously in the wet causing the ass to kick out and kiss the gutter. I chose to not be charged with culpable driving. LHR wheel is fooked...not even going to bother having it fixed, I'll just buy a new 1.
Worst part is I wasn't even going fast, lucky for the little kid!!!!
