My boyfriend owns an import performance shop, but we specialize in 3000GT's and Stealth's. I've been helping him manage it for the last 5+ years.

We have a full-time body guy/body shop in house, so, it comes in kinda handy

We gotta run out and get more gas for the welder today, and we'll be starting to weld in the replacement panels I'll post pics and maybe some video as we go along.

I hate half-assed work.

Our cars:

My 95 3000GT Spyder (all those body panels are LONG gone, getting a new paint job, widebody, built engine with some big twin turbos, blah blah), and his 92 Galant VR4



My 96 Stealth


His 91 3000GT (3.5L swap, with matching trailer)



His yellow 94 Stealth TT (with a bunch of **** done)



And we have a few more. So, we needed something that could haul at least a 2 car enclosed trailer to shows... that way we don't argue who gets to bring their car

I like how his 91 has the newer front fascia....

I LOVE 3000GT's and I think they still look good even though most are 12+ years old.

Good luck on the project truck...btw...planned mods??

No mods planned just yet. Just an exhaust and he wants to get some headers for it also. He's been looking into what is available for it. He wants to turbo everything we own... so... we'll see I guess. LOL

Yea, his dad bought it brand new in 91, and he got it when he went to college, then it say for about 9 years, was flooded 2 or so times over the roof, and just recently did the whole conversion to it and such (gutted down to the bare chassis and rebuilt). He blew the engine just before we put it away for the fall/winter... so... who knows what he'll be doing to it for next yet.

Thanks. I have been wanting to make one for a long time. I got my inspiration from a photo I saw of a Plymouth Prowler with a matching trailer.



Every since then I've wanted to make one. Well, one day I just dropped everything and went out back into my lot and cut one of my cars in half. I figured that would motivate me to finish what I have always wanted to do LOL.
