Twin Videos in Twin Falls

I had plenty of fun in Twin Falls after I got my video camera. The first two videos are when my tires were just about gone. I received new ones and decided to burn off my old tires literally on my way to Les Schwab to have new ones put on. This was also when I found out that the clutches in my diff. were burnt out. As you can tell by both the first and second video.

The final video here was a compilation of driving sequences that my friend and I put together in Twin Falls. He was having a hard time sitting still while I was doing the walk-around.

Exhaust 101

Even after realizing my exhaust leak in 2007, I didn't get around to fixing it until mid-2009, when I was living in Twin Falls and had lots of friends who wanted to help me work on my car. I bought some thrushes for Angel and they lasted me for about 3, maybe 4, months until i completely re-did my entire exhaust system, but there was a much needed reason for that...
 
Also while I was in Twin Falls I started to notice that my headlights were getting very, very yellow so I decided to drop some money on them as well, and let me tell you, that was possibly the best exterior investment I ever put into Angel. I never realized just what a new set of clear lights could do to brighten up the exterior of a car.
If this doesn't prove my point that a Fox needs new headlights I don't know what will.
Muuuuuuuch better

Cobra-esque

The first look I changed on the exterior of my car (besides paint) was the Cobra-Grill installation. I prefer to call it the "Pony-Grill" since there is no Cobra actually involved. 
This was obviously before paint, I laughed because it made my Mustang look like she had a 5'o clock shadow. At the same time i purchased my hood scoop from an '82 GT, so I painted the grille, scoop, and my cowl grille white at the same time. Also at this same time Angel had gotten backed into by a Durango, so we had to replace the drivers side fender as well.
It's hard to see in this picture, but the Durango hit me right behind the front wheel.
Here's my dad trying to rip the fender off the car.
I had to drive around like this for 2 days because I didn't have time to put the new fender on before I had to go to work

Also at this time I was literally trying to rip the luggage rack off (again trying to bring it into the 90's) I almost left the rear of the luggage rack on because I thought it looked cool. about two weeks later i realized that it didn't look cool at all.

As you can tell by these last two pictures I was having problems with my paint flaking on my bumper. This was later fixed when I learned the correct way to paint plastic parts. If you have any questions, just ask me.
