2002BlackDrgon's Build Thread!

[2002BlackDragon]

Well, guess it is time for me to jump onto the band wagon and create my own build thread. Just so everyone knows, I am a father of two girls, so they are my priority. But when i do get some cash to piss away, into the g it goes! I drive a 2002 with the 2.4l. Its black and ate up with cancer.

And on with the pics.

Hopefully this will be cured with either a CF EVO or the Monster hood that is in the GB section.

Saving now for that much needed drop! 4X4 FTL! :(

Trunk will be replaced with the CF one in the GB, if we can ever get it goin! Then there will be a CF EVO wing on it!

I also have DC Headers, guages, and some other things that still have to go into the car.

[Serstylz2]

damn u are way past cancer, my car never rusted due to it

[2002BlackDragon]

Alot of it is under the paint. As the paint flakes off, it leaves that nasty image you see befor you. I was going to repaint it, then i go in the GB for the CF trunk. I cant wait till that is done and i can get it installed.

[2002BlackDragon]

Update: I have done several things to the car. HIDs, DC Headers, some dress up, some painting on the interior and exterior (just to make it a little more easier to look at).

And the pics are from my cell phone, so the quality isnt that great.

So, starting from the interior, which i just started painting-

So, what do you guys think so far? And be honest. I like to know.

[stvn_mj]

The paint on the hood and rear looks iffy, but the interior and wheels look pretty good. I would suggest giving your engine bay a nice cleaning.

[HungarianHunter]

Pretty good dude! interior looks solid, and those eyelids make ur car look really pissed of :D I gotta make me a set of those.

Keep up the good work!

[2002BlackDragon]

Yeah, the car is hella dirty right now. The paint on the hood and trunk are a temp fix till the CF hood and trunk are done. Just got tired of seeing rust spots. And the interior is nowhere near done. LOL.

Thanks for the comments.

[QnzMostWanted]

i'd at least do a Maaco Special on that car for now at least to make it look better, then save up for a better paintjob later on

[2002BlackDragon]

Yeah, but i think it would be a waste. I am planning on getting CF hood and trunk, old style VR4 front or maybe a body kit. I dont want to spend the money to paint it now and the n pay to get it painted again later. Plus, i dont have that kind of money right now anyway.

[showtime]

I like the rims all black!!! But they still look good repainted bro.

[2002BlackDragon]

I did to, but decided that it was time for a change.

[koji464]

Black dragon what part of MO do you live in??

[wright06jhs]

Great start. I would get rid of those pedals, shifter, and seat covers. But other then that it looks nice. Get those windows tinted. :)

[2002BlackDragon]

The pedals have been there since i bought the car. I just never took them off. They are a pain in the ass cause the always untie my shoes. Been thinking of a new shifter, but not really sure what to go with. And the seat covers are to protect the seats since i work at a steel mill and dont have a junker to drive there yet. I get extremely dirty at work. Hopefully, tint will be soon.

@koji464- I use to live just outside of STL, but i moved all the way down to the Bootheel. I would still be interested in coming to some shows, but they have to fall on my days off cause it is hard to get off at the mill.

[IVORY_G]

Nice progress, but I like the rims better all black.

[2002BlackDragon]

Yeah, i did too. But i have always been a fan of bronze rims on black cars. Will have to see. They might get painted back when i get tired of the way this looks.LOL

[beam514]

I like the wheels better in all black too.. and I'm a sucker for gold/bronze wheels lol

[Frankv]

Are those the same h.i.d.s i sold you bro? if they are they look great man!

[2002BlackDragon]

Yes sir! Thanks a million! I love em!

[2002BlackDragon]

New shifter.

[stvn_mj]

It looks pretty good. What is the thing in the second pic looks like a nut but hard to tell.

[ShiZnitH]

Nice rust u got goin on there :lol:
This can be good :) Lookinf forward to the CF hood and trunk :D

[wright06jhs]

Clean the engine bay, its filthy. Please and thanks.

[johnygezony]

Coming along nicely, the title should be restoration rather than build, keep it up =)

[RastaAlejandro]

coming along nicely. i like the shifter where did you get it? that's going to be my next interior mod(i've only done my doors and dash). i like both ways you painted the wheels the silver makes it 'pop' more. i wish i had the dough to go hid they look awesome

[2002BlackDragon]

Now just cant wait to get the rest of my stuff from Cali so that i can get it all on the car and then PAINT! lol

[drm3613]

Big fan of the all black exterior! but personally you should go for at least two colors in the interior. Im not a big fan of blue, gray, and black bro. Otherwise keep at it i know its not a finished job. Hoping to see project finished and ready to go

[GalantDreamer3455]

Either put that bitch together or I am going to steal it and put it to use. LOL



Hurry up bro. Broke punk.....

[2002BlackDragon]

Im working on it. I just have to get the funds together.


Thanks for the words, drm3613... Im hoping to get it all going soon
