Finally uploaded some pics of my notchback after about a year of procrastinating. Theres actually some interesting history behind the notch. It was originally a 93 reef blue notch (owned by another gentleman) it was stolen from his driveway during a rainy night and ended getting chased by the police, which was actually on the news that night. Took make a long story short, the theif wrapped it around a telephone pole, insurance company totaled it out, i bought it, swapped just about everything over (complete drivetrain, evey wiring harness, brake lines, fuel lines etc) from the wrecked reef blue notch to a clean 89 body. I finished it last year and drove it for the summer but now that i got this 03 i had to cancel the insurance on it for this summer. Anyway, here are some before and after pics.

You need to get evan working on his car so he'll finally drive it. I've been bugging him for like 2 years, but it sounds like he might start working on it again.

yeah me too. he spent all that time porting the heads and drove it for like a month and it doesn't seem like he's touched it yet. hopefully he gets back on it and starts driving it becuase thats a nice car.

AAI was hot, but definitely bearable.....we only had to wear long sleeve shirts in the body shop

had a good time.....can't believe how many cars they turn out, especially GT500's :coolman:

I might come by Woodward ....depends on whether or not I end up on this side of town

only two weeks till Dream Cruise! :D
