The Road to Recovery...

The Road to Recovery: Getting the Red Maxima Back on the Road



It's been a long while since the red car has made any noise, but now I'm making progress again on another whim of an idea for a fun car.
Sad to say I won't reveal any details on what's going on this early in the game, but when things are running and dyno'd I will do a proper update.

For now, this post will just be a picture dump of what I have going in the car.... Just to tease....







Stay tuned for more pictures as I get in more parts....


The White Nightmare

"The White Nightmare"

This started as a nicely modded 96 SE that was my daily to get me to work and back, as time went on and things broke, I decided to replace the part with a decent mod instead of the same thing, eg when I replaced the motor I did a DEK swap. I didn't get to fully enjoy the DEK swap because a friend came up with the right price and I sold it immediately. There are bigger things coming from this car in the future, stay tuned to hear more about this one.
