Check This Out!!!!!!

Hey guys check this out. I bought this car for $700 from a bank repo about 3 months ago. It was missing a tranny, didnt know if it even ran, smelled and looked like a trash can on th inside, body had a good deal of minor damage and DEFINETLY needed a paint job. So this is what I have soo far with 3 months and just $3000 dollars later TELL ME WHAT YA THINK! And this is just the beginning!!!
Finally ditched the rims and got some motegi MR7's check them out on the last page. Now I am going into engine work. Thinking about an rrm turbo kit.

Well when I got it I ordered parts and began taking out seats etc. Took my 12 gallon shop vac and filled it a 1/4 of the way up with all little things not even sure what!!! Then took my steam cleaner and spent five hours steam cleaning the carpets and seats also cleaned the dash and door panels etc. Then when I got it on the road took it and had it professionally cleaned. I will get some pics of the interior soon. Looks a millions times better.

Allright guys let me know if this sounds like a good next step. I already mounted tweeters above the door speakers havent hooked them up yet though. I mounted an amp under the passenger seat and ran power wires. By the way I still have my stock deck for the moment and wondering if anyone knows if i can tap into speakers wires maybe running under the dash for a signal for my amp and what the colors are? I have different door speakers that I am putting in with spacers as they are a little too deep. I want to run just low pass to my doors and use the tweets for highs and the back be full range. I am getting the orbital prestige dash kit and a double din 7" screen. My friends told me when I got the car to just get it running and to drive it as it is. The way I see it if I actually spent as much on the car as I would have just buying a used one this car will be pimp Thanks guys and leave some suggestions on customization this is a project. Later!!!!!
