then, and now
 
This is what my car looked like the day I brought it home, for the first time in 2005:

A little elbow grease, a few days later:

So I see that you added a front bumper (that seems to be sagging down in the front), side moldings and flares, and rear bumper...but why are they purple-ish when the rest of the car is mostly red?

Rear bumper is stock. Front is getting replaced, the purplish is really burgundy. The lower half of the car is getting repainted the same color as the upper half. Arches might go red, or black, dont know yet.

So does that make it a two-toned Merkworth?

We all march to the beat of a different drum. If it makes you happy, do your thing.


I just spent 500 dollars modding and fixing a 91 accord. Craziness.

ShawnBoyMoody 08-22-2013 08:26 AM

I bet the Merkur would run the BMW slap over in a straight line, which is really all that matters. I dont know why yall give him such a hard time.

BIRDMAN 08-22-2013 08:29 AM

Damn you Matt.
