Before I started to mod it.....and after.

I bought the X from my sister in Early July `04. It had no rear Glass (hence the blue tarp) for atleast a year, 2 flat tires, and last but not least, a Blown 4.0L engine. Here is what I paid $200 for:







Here is a pic I took last week. Since July I have: Shaved, lowered, and installed all new exterior lighting. Next on the list is a 98+ LED brake light, only I will mount it UNDER the rear hatch glass, instead of above it.

THEN we spent a few HOURS cleaning it...

I doubt it sucks. The rear wiper is almost useless, at least on my X.

thats what side mirrors are for

Is your sister mad? hahaha
Nice work, another Gen I resurected, I respect that huge.

 

[Chew_12]

Damn what a difference

 

[hit_that]

Awesome job! I bet that took alotta work....

Lookin good, all you need is a rollpan now.

Yes, the VERY few times I've used mine it does absolutely no good.

 

[j602]

You're the man. Fawkin sweet X.

 

[TJM623]

i dunno in the winter specially with blowing snow i really need the wiper,

 

[bmxking5]

That looks awesome! I'd say add a roll pan, but seeing what you've done so far, you probably already have that on the to-do list. Nice job man.

 

[Spdrcer34]

A roll pan is DEFINITLY on the list.....

Thanks for the compliments! I have alot of pics of the progress, but the biggest difference is what is shown.

The lack of a rear wiper was actually a plus for me. It's that many less holes I had to fill! I have a rear wiper on my wife's X, and we use it every once in a while, but I keep a good treatment of Rain-X on the glass at all times. The one thing that I don't have, but have thought about adding is a rear defrost. If you have no wiper, you also have no rear defrost. It EVENTUALLY clears up, but it takes about 10 min to do it. Instead of 1-2 min. like a heated glass one would.

The motor is just another stock 4.0L from a `93 X. It had 67k on it when I installed it. Now it has 71k.

Sweet. Do post pics upon completetion.

 

[bmxking5]

I just got the Hurst shifter (in my sig - Elite Registry) and it is sooooooo worth the money. That's saying alot considering the price tag on them. Like j602 said, post some pics when it's done, I bet it'll be awesome!
