I have dubious feelings bout that show. On one hand, it's cool what they do, they do some good work, but in the end, no matter how nice you make it look and now matter how much electronics you got going in there, you're still rollin with a shitty car.

and anyone catch the escort to bmw m3 conversion? gawd dwamn, thats WHACK.

Yeah, I don't understand why you guys are hatin on the show if they basically rebuild the whole thing.
they don't. Look dog, the cars they get are sometimes over 15 years old and have ran like 200k miles. Those things are falling apart. You can make it nice and shiny and put a lot of expensive aftermarket stuff in it, but WC customs isn't fixing your engine, suspension, chassis whatever if it's all fucked up. Well, perhaps you get new springs if your car is getting lowered, but on a technical level, they're not fixing anything really.

basically, they make the cars nicer, not better

yeah, a shitty one at that. sometimes when i watch that show i think "what a fuckin shame to put so much nice shit in such a fuckin barrel of a car".

they'd be better off cutting the accessories-budget in half and using half of it to actually get a car instead of a heap of rusty parts, or at the very least use a good 10000 dollars to fix the machine. get a proper engine, make sure the chassis is in proper order, fix brakes, fix suspension, fix everything cos the cars they gotta freshen up are literally heaps of dirt. . then use the other half to dope it out.

i wouldnt be surprised if one of them pimped cars would simply fall apart after another 10k miles, lol.

You do get some good cars. Didn't anyone see when they pimped the 65 Mustang? Or the VW camper van.
Those 2 are classics, the mustang a hell of a classic. Both were worth 20k when finished. But agreed most are shitters.
Also they're coming to the UK, Imagine the shit Euro crap cars they'll be working with then.

You aint a pimp or balling if your car stereo and accessories is worth more then the actual car.
My current project is worth $A200 which is about $120 US a 1972 Datsun 1600 . Im am currently sticking in a SR20DET from a s15 200sx and working the fuck out of it.

It will be a deep deep purple ish and it will sit on some old school rims (havent decided yet).

The accsesories will be worth twice as much as the acr, sevral times over however it will be able to rip just about anything and look fucking crazy while at it...



It will look at little like this

I have the same escort that was on the show, except mine is only worse.

I always wonder how these people with pimped out rides protect their shit. I mean mostly they live in really bad hoods and now you got big ron rollin on daytons. He´ll most likely need to get a gun or something to keep what he got.
