my neon

[cokey]

Figured id finally post my pride n joy/money pit/daily driver..  this car has been with me since sept 2nd of 04'...  been through hell n back, on failed engagment n attempt to reconcile the engagement before that with my good friend..  through times of almost being broke enough to sell her.. and 2 accidents while in the car and 4 while she was parked..  one blown motor, turbo and trans..  dogged suspension n now a clutch needs replacing with another paint job.. my cousin and I repainted and fix her up.. he's a body man and in a wheele chair I might add..  I ripped the motor out my self to have it rebuilt.. swapped the trans with a used one so I can have mines rebuilt, this spring if $ allows..  just got new rotors n pads.. suspenssion before anything else as I need it to be safe..  new wife and baby and living space make finishing her hard since priorities are else where.. but as I promised her, I will never sell her.. its my first car that I've owned since I was 24.   





here's some of the damage.. some occured in an acident, pass side the rest while parked door and rear 1/4

crazy idea
Those Caliber SRT-4s are AWD right?
How hard do you think it'd be to adapt some of those parts to your Neon?
You'd really give the Subies fits

[cokey]

Na they are fwd.. nothing can be used.. totally diff motor.. its actually a pretty good motor.. the srt4 neon can handle 500hp stock motor with a good tune for a while..

but it would be a nice dream though 

[cokey]

A few have converted the neon into rwd.. I was thinkong of doing the same.. throw the motor in the back..  I'm actually not a fan of awd.. rw or rw only..  I have a lot of projects I could do but not engh $$..

You guys don't like using respirators  


That shit is REALLY bad for you mang  

[cokey]

You see my cuz safety squint the weld n no gloves.. that's how us ricans do.. lol.. that old spot was ventilated pretty well.. he's up in CT,  been working on cars since 10 and has hands like leather.   We ha e to redo it due to dumb ass parkers.. might do 2tone or leave it the bmw steel grey..

Car looks great. I'm not a big fan of eyelids, but they look really good on your car. Makes me sad that my neon got stolen.
