So me and my buddy are switching everything from one car, to another, and doing a "resto" on the car in the process.... more pics, eventually, than you can shake a stick at!
A little bit of history about the car, not that anyone cares....
I bought the car from, believe it or not, they guy that put the windsheild in my 82... he said the coil pack was bad, and the motor had just been rebuilt, so... having the extra coil, I went and picked it up, I think I payed.... $450 for it or something. So I let the car sit for.... 2 months or so before I screwed with it... those 84+ coil-packs are like $500 from Toyota, and I couldn't find one used anywhere... so I one day got fed up, checked all the wiring and stuck the coil in and she fired up.... Holy crapp...... talk about a loud ass knock..... Anyway, engine WAS rebuilt, there just weren't any bearings in it, at all..... SO, I did the JDM thing, upgraded to the 6m and went on from there. Drove the car for.... I dunno, 3-4 months, until the heater went out, o around January, fixed the heater core, had the dash all ripped out, got sooo pissed with the stupid heater, and after replacing the fuel pump, then the tank because somehow it got a tiny hole in it, got REALLY crappy mileage for whatever reason so I pulled the motor out and bought the 85 (in sig) from Jon at MDC (stopped and asked about it, and have had to put up w/ his crapp since :biglaugh: ) put the motor in that car, drove the 85 for... lets say.... 3 months, Sold the 85, and now we're to the present.
If you're still reading, awesome, I have an audience still. Anyway, on with the story... So basically the car has been sitting forever *6months or so* Dad's getting pissed so I put it up for sale... no bites... at all... I even lowered the price to FREE, still nothing. So, I talked to some people about it... Grant wanted it and after Chi2k5, my buddy wanted it. It's pretty much the perfect project car. It's at my house and it's free... and the body is in damn good shape, what more could ya ask for? Anyway, we've spent about.... 10 hours on it so far and I've almost got this project caught up...
Day 1 - The Chaos begins...
Basically we spend an even stripping the inside of the car, nothings left in the car except what we thought was good enough to be possibly used on the car... An entire red interior that was in pretty damn good shape TRASHED, thrown on a giant pile of crapp and BURNED, Why? Because if nobody wanted the car, aint NOBODY gonna want the interior... 2 perfect L-type seats up in smoke! Man that was a sad night for me. Anyway, thats about all that got done, we also found out that there was a little more rust than we though, nothing serious, just some rust that we'll have to take care of... Here's the pics from day 1...
*This was filled with engine parts, 4 intakes, and 2 sets of fender flares.... it was awesome!*
*EDIT*
More pics...
