President's Visit in AZ

I know you guys hate teasers but this all I have so far :shrug:

Still alot of work left but Kidzik has been sick so he hasn't been able to finish the moldings and rear bumper.

I know I will take better pics in due time.
And yes the parking lot lighting fails miserably.

Hahaha, Ok thanks guys I don't expect much as of right now kinda stuck with a stock president conversion.

I got the conversion from panda garage sold some things here and there to offset the cost.
I still have my original president trunk and still hoping to sell that as well.

No plans as of yet. This is going to be a SLOW build I was just in a rush to finish the car buy June 1st as the wife was coming back stateside with the baby. But that was delayed too so the car has been done for a lil over a month.

I think I will do coils again but will try to figure a way to get better adjust ability with a custom setup or get g50 coilovers.

This is still the same g50 from when I first started except I will take my time instead of rushing like before.

Mista808 I pretty muched followed your same process for the conversion except I have a friend who can machine me some brackets for the headlights.

Lastly I miss my green hid fogs. This conversion came with a fogless front bumper.

I kept seeing this thread and thinking "Whoop-di-doo, Barack doing some travelling"

And all along you were coming out with this teaser!

Gotta love the feeling of a remake; and i dig the colour choice (though i would be biased!)

I would love to get my hands on a kit and what not now but I am definitely taking my time on this guy. Got some maintenance due and the 240 is in the middle of a motorswap. So wants that is done and sold I can concentrate on this car.

I figured so many cars are black and to do a color change like before was not really worth it unless it's done right so I decided to let kidzik paint it with some white paint he had and get the car all one color and close to the stock color. Now after it has been done I really like it and already thinking about wheels.

I don't like having half assed vehicles. I like things to be complete in stages.
1st was parts fitment.
2nd was paint, but I am still waiting for trim and rear bumper to be completed. Unfortunately not alot I can do as the painter has been having some health issues.

Next stage will be either wheels or suspension. I am working through my much needed maintenance on the vehicle which is more important than mods right now.
