88 1JZ Tear Down To Stockish

[honestabe]

My friend decided that he wanted an 04 WRX, so he gave me back this 87 1JZ to pay me off. I'm going to strip it of all it's goodies and put them on my 87, leaving the white 87 pretty stock with the exception of having a 1J. I'm also going to get fresh Oregon plates on it so I can sell it. Here's the pics I took tonight under a crappy yellow street light, I'll get more tomorrow when I have natural light.

The goodies include:
-JIC Magic front upper sway bar
-new hood shocks
-almost new Tein Flex adjustable coilovers with adjustable dampening
-Grant steering wheel
-MK1 short throw shifter (very nice, much better than stock)
-brand new Falken Ziex 512 225/50-16 tires
-aftermarket boost gauge
-JIC Magic front lower sway bar
-Grant steering wheel


The good about the car:
-clean title
-good 1JZ
-TorSen 4.10 diff
-new brake pads
-new MagnaFlow muffler

The bad about the car:
-dents in body, especially rear passenger quarter panel
-brown interior
-no spare tire
-no spare tire cover (the wooden piece)
-minor rust in and around spare tire well
-brake rotors front and rear need to be replaced very soon
-burgandy 89+ front bumper
-chips in paint and dings all around the car
-no stereo
-good grey steering wheel center piece, bad gray steering wheel
-no e-brake boot
-interior is worn
-interior side panels have holes cut for TMS harness bar
-missing passenger side fog light

Now, on with the pics.












Now, given it's current condition, what do you guys think this car is worth with all the goodies (what I put in that category excluding the tire) taken off and swapped with stock parts? And yes, I will be putting in a set of working hood struts, but they won't be as pretty.

Needs a bunch of work!!! But at least you have a great drivline to start with??? Good luck!!!

Looks real low in the last pic....Good luck

It is really low. The front tires are tucked into the fender wells 1.5 inches, and the rears are tucked in about an inch into the fender wells. I'm going to raise the suspension up tomorrow night after work so that the top of the tires are flush with the bottom of the fender wells.

Got some new pics of the car, enjoy!

















I'm too lazy to go out to the car now and take a pic of the boost gauge lit up. But I will say that it glows indiglo blue, and it looks nice.

nice, looks like your gettin some nice stuff off of it

how much you gonna be asking for when you get everything off it

 

[honestabe]

Once I swap everything for stock parts I'll be asking $3000 because of the condition of the body.

Mods, can someone please edit my title so that it says my car is an 87 and not an 88 please. I checked my title today.

looks good, funny how i have a burgandy project thats going to have a white bumper.

lol, yeah. My friend was drifting in boots and his foot got caught. Ended up facing the wrong way after hitting a stop sign and ending up with the front end stuck on a hill (the liscense plate is fucked up). When my friend pushed the car off the hill, it pulled the passenger side of the bumper off. Although the bumper was destroyed anyways (supports cut out poorly, and huge cracks on both sides). That's why this car has the front bumper from my old 90 that now lays in pieces in a scrap yard.
