2002BlackDrgon's Build Thread!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Yes sir! Thanks a million! I love em!

New shifter.

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

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

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

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

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

My new exhaust...

It has been a long time since i had posted anything in this. My Car has been sitting for a while and is on her way back to the streets. I should be recieving a special box tomarrow and cant wait for it to get here.

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

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

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



Hurry up bro. Broke punk.....

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
