99 plymouth neon (last year of the first gen)

When I bought this car it was in horrible shape. It only had the driver seat in it and stains every where. it was stock with a 2.0L sohc engine and a 3sp auto trans. I bought this car because when I looked under it and in the door jams and didnt see a spec of rust.






I had this car for almost a year now. First thing I had to start with was the intrior (carpet, dash, headliner,front and rear seats). The head liner and door panels were covered in a red carbon fibre like metrial and 120 degree blue leds through out. The leds in the headliner funtion like a normal dome lights would. There are also led's in all the vents so that when you run the headlights on they turn on as well. Also installed oil pressure and vacuum gauges in the dash. The dash and all other panels are being pulled back out the be sanded smooth and painted with a high gloss paint white with red accents to match the new meterial.

















Next project was the get that sohc engine and auto trans outta there. I installed a rebuild 420A engine w/ a 5sp trans. Trans came with a new 2stage clutch that was also installed at the same time. Battery was relocated to the trunk so that I could run my custom cold air intake up and behind the bumper. I bought a new rad so I could also get rid of the old dirty one. With all the go fast parts installed I decided to build up the brake system. I installed cross drilled rotors and apex pads.











The outside of the car looks some what stock.I had to change the hood and trunk because of dents. I lowered it 1.5" front and rear to get rid of the gap between the 16" rims and wheel well. It has projector headlight and clear signals in the front. also installed a focus exhaust rear section that gives it a nice pur.







Last poject up to this point is the audio system. I installed new 4" tweeters in the dash, 6.5" mtx thunders in the doors, 6x9 mtx in the rear window and and massive 15" mtx thunder 8000 in the trunk. I installed a sony head unit (that im not exactly proud of) and a rockford amp to power the 15" in the trunk. I had to upgrade to a bigger 700 cca battery in the trunk because of the power the system draws. The trunk setup is not yet completed. The battery will be covered and there will be carpeted wood around the sub.






Didnt really start doing any work to this car till june. I work at a auto shop and I am the only one who works on this car. So far its is coming along nicely. Im just lookin for a little bit of help towards body work. I bought a Wings West kit for it (one that they dont make anymore) and am looking to have it installed for next summer. I would like to paint it a two tone black on the top and blue on the bottom. Maybe after it is painted I will install the street glow blue tubes under it when that is finished.



soon to be installed:
