Just bought my very OWN first car

**scared2mosh** · 08-01-2010, 08:24 PM

The tracker is almost ready to be painted. I had to rebuild soooo much stuff. Now I've started sanding so I can paint it... should be done in the next week or 2. New pix on completion.

Also a neighbor said he wants to buy this when it's finished (for around 1.5-2k... not bad for a $300 car haha. Probably wont do it though)

Finally got it painted today... cost me almost $500 between paint/primer/clearcoat. I got almost bottom of the line base coat then used top of the line clear coat. The end results look amazing. There are a few small runs in the clear coat, but those should sand/buff out no trouble. I also need to paint the rims and get new decals (any suggestions on colors?)

Moar pix after it's put back together.

I just need to put the trim pieces on and she's done... I decided against cheesy decals.

Cool.
It needs big fog lights and a push bar.

Indeed. Fog lights and dirt tires. Rally it!

The green looks good.

Very well done!

not a chance haha... I'd rather do an engine swap and 4x4 conversion. I am however, trying to find a way to pick up some power. Ideas?

Wait, that's 2WD?

Have you checked on any Suzuki forums (if there are any) at all?
That's the company of origin for that thing, yes?

You could always fab a cold air intake and do some exhaust work for a couple of horsepower.
Adding stickers will REALLY boost the output, though, so be careful...

Haha. My current actual plans are to do a good old fashioned tuneup (new oil, fuesl/air/oil filters, sparkplugs etc) then maybe make a new exhaust w/out the cat & a new higher flowing air intake.
