After all the cleaning was done, I was satisfied with how clean of a car I got.

After all that was fixed, it was time to make her a little more appealing to the eye.

Did a little bit of visual upgrades to the ol girl. I put some anodized aluminum value cover studs and a new sterring wheel on her.

Finished the jambs and painting for awhile, also still planning on what wheels I'm going with.

Going run the 4 banger for a while and put the SBC later or ?

The wheel specs are 17x10 there on my friends ford focus, I'm thinking maybe 16s because 17s look a little too tall for my taste. I'm keeping the 4banger for alil while then I'm thinking about 383 stroker with a procharger or possibly just N/A sbc
