Gwen's Story

[WhiteArrow3800]

I wanted to get some of my pics over here so I figured I'd do a Time Line of my last two+ years with you guys. And some Favorite Pics.

Started out with this:








Got the BC Stickers and painted a few things and she got a name; Guinevere. Dad realizes about now that I'm obsessed and that he made a mistake somewhere because I'm drifting off into enemy (GM) Territory. I'll have to fix these sooner or later though, I think I'm set on replacing the url with Luxury With Attitude. I'll get a url under the hood or something.


Got them Angel Eyes:


Didn't like the color, so I changed it:


Somewhere between the Angel Eye color change I messed up:


Then Striped a Parts Car:


Stripped Gwen (NSFW, lol?)


And She's Back:


Shortly after She meets up with Pat's SLE for a new Headlight to complete the repairs:


First real Mod:


First time at the Track:


First Kill:


First loss:


More Track Pics:




Clear Corners (x2)


First time my brother drives my car, he hits a turkey, no less than a week after getting the clear corners. Got fixed a week after:


New Falken Rubber


Got the Flowmaster 80 Series Muffler, but heres a pic of the Gold tips instead.


SEBF 2007:






Then she decided she didn't want to go home yet, she stayed back with Brad (sandrock) for 4 months in Florida, 750+ miles from home. She got another engine from Marik and that one lasted 66 miles. She was then towed home:




She has since been sitting in our back yard awaiting her transplant again. The engine is still in the machine shop as of now, and we still need another trans...

Heres a few of my All Time Favorites, I'll probably never get a better shot than these:




And some other nice Shots:

uh-oh









Thats all folks.
Until she comes back...

That was a nice timeline. Hopefully she will be up and running again soon

[dave1764]

those are some nice pics it looks nice can't wait to see it rolling again

[Roadtech195]

I had no idea you have been through so much with that car, not a huge fan of the aerolite rims but she looks great and I'd still hit it

[zuper8]

aww that was nice! You're tough to stick with the car through all that bad luck- Gwen has a good home!

[Peterg22000]

I had no idea you have been through so much with that car, not a huge fan of the aerolite rims but she looks great and I'd still hit it

Come one, that what makes that car... I'd kill for a nice set of matching aeros for my white car..

Stripped Gwen (NSFW, lol?)

Too funny! lol


Nice time line.

[GoldenBullet]

I love the Aerolites, they definitely do make the car. Though I am getting tired of people asking if they are hubcaps. I am interested in getting different rims, but they will have to be body color

Thanks for the comments guys, she definitely has been through alot, and alot more to come. Mechanically speaking, nearly everything has been replaced on that car except the steering rack. Engine #3 and Trans #2 are in the works now. If nothing had been replaced we probably would have let her stay in Florida and not seen her again.

Thats about how Jinx was...I can't believe what all I replaced on that car when I started tearing it down.

Gwen has new doors waiting for her at least...that is, IF she makes it here for SEBF. Gwen just got herself a sexy black bra and pasties too IIRC

[Aviator327]

I remember your Bonne.

She did get a very sexy black bra it was used though

And she had better be ready by October for SEBF, She'll be missing NEBF though, unless the engine guy comes through in the next two or three weeks. I want to have time to put about 1000 miles on her before she goes anywhere far.

[Jrs3800]

Car looks great....

But give it a few thousand before you take her too far... Trust me on that one..

[WhiteArrow3800]

Well in that case, she will not be making NEBF unless I get the engine back within the week and get the new trans from Jasper.

I hope to get the Hood Vents finished (Waiting on the tech info article to resurface), and get started on cleaning up the engine bay (Paint, satin or semi gloss black) and have a go at porting the intake.

Like the pic of the bonne in front of the ford logo lol nice car tho! ive always wanted ethier a black car or a white car.

[Custom88]

I can tell you have put a lot of work into your car and it definitely looks like it has paid off. She's looking great. I don't know if I'd have the guts to strip my car like you did. I don't think I'd get it back together right!

[pearl_bonnie02]

Beautiful car! My all time favorite picture is of Gwen at the Ford dealer

[Ramsrule]

WOW!! What a story! Gotta hate it when your baby leaves you stranded like that. :sad5:

I'd be very careful with the new motor and take your time breaking it in properly before hitting the interstate and racking up the miles.

I remember the pic you took of her hitting 150k on the way to the NC get-together. Mine just hit 150k this week and I immedately thought about that picture. So here's to hitting the 150,000 mile club!

[WhiteArrow3800]

Well I wasn't too stranded, Thanks to Brad & Karen.

And I can't believe I forgot the NC meet. I guess it slipped away from me, cause i have those pictures in a separate file.

Heres to add to the story line:
The 150k picture was on the way to that meet, here it is:


and one of the Meet:
