Well I figured it was finally time too start a build thread for my baby, but first I'll tell the story of how i came about too getting the car.
Started out with my first car, a 1986 dodge ram with an oil leak, bought it off of my sister for 650 and for some odd reason loved the thing
Drove that for I think about three months, then found out I was moving too Texas and they had smog checks there and i didn't have the means too fix the oil leak, so I sold the truck but heres the funny thing, I ended up selling it too Rally Racer A.C.P! he called me up from cali and said he had a guy in washington about an hour away from me that would come get it for him, turned a 400 dollar profit on the thing as well
So with the money i had from selling my truck + some more that i had saved up i was able too buy what i thought at the time was a great deal, a 1996 2.2L Auto Subaru Legacy sedan for 1750
Granted it did have 220k on it, when i had it at least it ran great, but the auto was killing me and i decided i needed too start mowing some lawns too put some more cash in my pocket, so i traded that for my next truck, a 1999 V6 Auto dodge ram 1500
Oh and the thing was loud too say the least.... muffler was broken off completely!

I did end up putting on a cheap thrush muffler for legal reasons lol, but after another month i was once again going out of my mind because automatic, which brings us too my current car.
My pride and joy
Has 264k on the original 4a-ge but the guy who had it before me baby'd it all of those miles and last year took it in too toyota and had the Head completely redone (Head gasket, water pump, thermostat, Etc Etc...)
Now this thing will definitely not be getting traded any time soon! For me, nothing compares too driving a mid engine car.
As of now I'm unemployed, but only this past week or so have i been looking for a job here, so if all goes right i should be employed by the end of next week and that's when the real fun begins
Current plans are this
Dropped about an inch or so on 15 or 16 inch gold Enkei 92's, gonna clean up the interior a bit with new steering wheel, shift knob, and other goodies. Maybe a new front lip but that's on the backside of the plans list so far.
Thanks for checking her out, due too me being a broke 16 year old, this build will definitely not be fast in anyway shape or form, but I hope too have her come out of it looking great.
