Pirate ship in the shape of a TACO

What she looked like when i first brought her home. I really got a killer deal on her





removed all the stickers and gave her a bath





lots of little stuff that i had to fix..

-side marker lights did not work(replaced bulbs)
-door panels where barely hanging on(took off and remounted)
-jerry rigged stereo with amp and sub tore out and rear speakers did not work(ripped out old wiring and rewired stereo and speakers)
-a/c lights and shifter lights did not work(replaced bulbs)

gave her a good waxing







bought some new to me UCA's



gave her an oil change OEM FTW!



Added some led strips to the rear interior.





deck plate mod




got some bedside decals made up for me



Painted the center caps



how she looks now

-suspension
-plasti derp chrome all around and wheels
-prerunner tube bumper fabricated
-tire gate or tire/rear bumper combo fabricated

this is a budget build so things will come when i can afford them.

thanks for looking ​

 

Looks good so far. How much and where did you find the turtle wax black box stuff?

 

wally world.. im pretty sure it was $17 but it was def under $20

 

clean...

Makes me miss my 1st. gen

 

it was def not so clean when i bought her.. spent about 3-4 days making her ready for show business

 

Get some clear signals and vinyl dye your front bumper and she'll look even better than she already does

 

never really thought about the clear signals thanks for that thought i will def be looking for some now

i wanna get a new bumper so im not worried about vinyl dye its kinda messed up so i wanna get a good non damaged one before i spend any money on fixing this one

 

painted the front emblem today

i was originally going to do green but i couldn't find a shade that i liked..

next up is some grill work maybe add some in bed lights

 

ok so i switched to green like i originally wanted



dont mind the bent up front bumper
anyone wanna lend me there old one?

 

Looks great! Makes me wish I had a black 1st gen.
Don't worry my bumper looks a whole lot worse than yours!

 

painted my needles green

plasti-dipped my front grill and the chrome bparts on the bumper and the door handles(not pictured)







also ordered 5100's for the front i will get new rear parts soon

How do you like the wax specifically for black vehicles? Do you think it works better than typical wax?
