Finally on the road... the eigth month odyssey of the Suburst Orange VIPER
FINALLY!
I purchased this car back in June of last year after it had been written off. Now, after eight months of waiting, it was finally registered two days ago and is now prowling the streets of Victoria, BC.
The most frustrating parts of the whole process were the waits. I had a two month wait for paint, and nearly four for a minor frame tweak and certification.
At any rate, the car is now fully up to spec, registered, and terrorizing Victoria now.
Next weekend will see a full detail to the exterior, interior, and engine bay, as well as a set of custom stripes applied (stay tuned for updates!).
In the meantime, here are a few shots as she sits now. I've put in smooth tubes, BBS wheels, poly engine and tranny mounts, and a B&M short throw shifter thus far. My next mod will most likely be a cat or muffler delete followed by headers down the road.
Paint is Dodge Sunburst Orange. I really like this color. My wife picked it, but I think she made a great choice. When the sun hits it, it really explodes in multiple shades of gold, yellow and red.

Nice to see one in a different color. Props. I'm also bringing one back from the dead. Doing it all myself so the only one I wait on is me. Slow bastard.
I did all of the work except for the paint and the frame cert myself. Its a great way to get to know your car.
I will be contracting out the detailing and stripes to a local shop here, along with the audio install. I nabbed a Pioneer AVIC N3 head unit with IPOD interface on eBay for cheap.
Anyone got any ideas on what to replace the subwoofer with? Apparently 6.5" is an oddball size for a woofer...
