Post your custom cars you have had, do have, or soon will have!

It's hardly "Custom", but here's my weekend ride. It's an '87 Buick Regal Limited Turbo, basically a Grand National in different paint. Lotsa fun, I've upgraded the fuel pump, injectors and added a TA-49 turbo so far. Also put on the Centerline wheels. I'm gonna look into alky injection next summer and shoot for some 11 second time slips.
Had a moderately built up '00 TJ that I sold before I bought this thing, pics of it are in the "Who wheels a 1:1" thread.

Damn you Tokyo Drift :-x Making all these JDM fanboys jump on the bandwagon, thinking they can drift, buying a RWD import and wrecking it trying to show off and drift.... (not necessarily directed at you, lol)

I've got a 1996 240sx, still debating whether to go with a chevy 350 or a cheaper and simpler swap, an SR20DET

Oh yeah, its clean....

I have a super custom XJ with a 0" lift, 29" tires, and a near broken tow strap, and a cup holder. Oh forgot to mention, I do have an optima, I have the kit for the duel battery hook up, but I dont have reason for it yet. Unlike most of you I barely have money to feed myself. Every car in this thread is nice. BTW crawlerman, I took a ride in a 3000gt after work today, I was impressed.
