Hahaha, before anyone screams, I removed all those body panels before I went. Nothing fell off when we were driving. Haha, well here is the aftermath of running the car through the Mesa in the New Mexico Desert!! Was freakin awesome. Didnt get stuck but got close. (Had 2 trucks to pull me out either way) Everyone was suprised on how good my car did going through the sand and crap. Even hit a few 1ft deep mud puddles at 65MPH, hahahaha. Also had a couple of Dirt Drag Race's. I whooped on a F-150 and a Jeep Cherokee, LOL. Enjoy. (No accents was harmed in the making of this fiesta). I had also removed the sub box, amp, and PS2 incase we got airborn. But that didnt happen. Maybe next week. Tomorrow its off to the power washer to clean the outside, and then re-wipe down the interior and remove the 1/4" of dust/dirt. Lol. I am also keeping the body parts off for a while because I am gonna prep the car for paint. We are gonna go with a Matte Black (Flat Black and a Flat Finish Clear Coat over it.) Should look pretty sick when It's all done.

Also, I am lookin to match a set of coil springs all around for my car. Just gotta get the specs off the stock ones and find ones identical but about 1 1/2" taller. Gonna raise the car instead of dropping it for street like I wanted to. I might have found some to do some fiber glass fenders also. Plus If I raise it I can get some low profile off road tires for sand and mud!! Lmao this is gonna be sweet.

The car is legal. I have all my normal lights still on, and the license plate is still mounted visible. The only thing I might get bugged for if it rains is not having anything covering the front wheel to avoid creating rooster tails from the rain water. Lol. Well, I think I am also gonna buy another cheap set of 14" or 15" steel wheels so I can do some small dirt tires. If I do 14" I can get some Bridgestone Rally Tires. Lol. Now I just need AWD.

Hahaha. Nice people. Well we didn't get to go out this weekend. My buddy blew his front U-Joint on his Jeep in the mud before I even got outta work. And there was no way I was goin out without him, cuz I didnt need to get stuck and not have a way out, lol. On another note, I started doing the prep work for the paint. I decided on a Flat Style Midnight Blue, and gonna do Flat Black wheels. Should be painted here within the next 2-3 weeks. Just gotta find a good weekend to do it. The fenders and bumpers are goin back on this week to make the car whole again. I'll take pics of the prepped paint before we spray it. I can't wait to see the turn out. I'm so stoked.
