My florida trip turned into a free project!!!!! UPDATED WITH PICS!!!

[metaphysico]

Ahhh endless hours bringing a car back from the dead, fond memories. Make sure you give me a list of the stuff you need so I can set it aside. I got the fender and a bunch of stuff off the car the other night.

Btw I got Michee's supra back to together the other day and she finally got to drive it with full power. Lets just say she is really happy. We had to take the calipers off the parts car and put it on hers because her RF caliper was completely locked up, and the hose was split so had to take the brake hoses from the parts car.

Anyways, I know you need the hatch and want a distributor, and I figure you are gonna probably need a tail light failure module with all the water that was sure to have been around it.

Tonight I am gonna pull off the hatch and swap it with mine but at least mine is ready for paint. Also I am gonna take out everything in the rear of the car, and the targa, all that will be left is the engine and trans to pull. Other things you may want to think about doing are belts (serps and timing), hoses - all of them, and a fresh set of plugs and wires, at least plugs. At very minimum check the hoses and belts for signs of wear or dry rot and check again after driving the car for a while.

Thanks Jason. Yes i am going to replace the timing belt also. im going to use the hoses i took of my car for now because they are good just old. i am going to put ALOT of time and work into this car. im just going to try to do it for AS CHEAP AS I POSSIBLY can and not have to worry bout the NA breaking. I already bought a gasket set, ill use your distributer, and im not sure if im going to use your hatch. I may but my buddy chris has a Turbo hatch with a spoiler already mounted. so i may just use his. but depending on price and availability. Im looking into a trailer as we speak so i can get it towed up here. I plan to COMPLETLY strip the interior and bleach and clean all the panels and dash. As for the seats im just going to throw some covers on them for now untill i can afford to get them covered. THIS resurrection is only to bring it back to road worthy for now. not to make it a beast. Its an NA anyway. Karmasupra on here is selling me a 7mgte and someday i plan to swap it into my car and put mine into the NA. Brittney wants it turbod. IDK why she never boosts it. But hey this is her project car so I have to do what the wife wants. Oh and congrats on getting her car back together. im off tomorrow and you are too right? im going to come by and help you strip that car.

[bombinuass]

[bombinuass]

picked up a hatch last night with some hatch struts i *should* have the car up here around the beginning of Nov. end of Oct. and i will tear it town...

 

[metaphysico]

Yea that was fun around over 25 gallons of gas round trip, damn told you my truck drinks gas. So that was an expensive door panel for me lol. I am never taking the truck that far again for parts unless there is a bunch of stuff I need.

 

[supraguy@aol]

Don't feel bad- I drove up there for a bumper that I didn't get.

; )

 

[bombinuass]

lol i got what i needed lol THANKS!~

 

[Supraboy87T]

Sorry bout that gas Jason and to you too Diego for bumper not being that great. Hope y'all get that switcharoo with hatches done. LOL

 

[bombinuass]

So change of plans(for the better) im moving to where the car is at in Fl the first week of Dec. so my project will start then sometime. i will keep yall updated and i have a pretty wacked out interior job in mind for yall.

 

[metaphysico]

For the purple/pink interior I think your best bet is going to be spend the coin and get some seats from either http://www.katzkin.com/ or http://www.leatherseats.com/. You might be able to bleach the floor white then dye it, judging by the white spots on Michees rear carpet that I would assume was caused by bleach. Hell when we replace hers I may end up pulling it and bleaching the whole thing just so we can redye it.

 

[supraguy@aol]

hmm.

Never heard of someone moving to a car because the car didn't run.
That's a new one on me, and shows Serous dedication.
: )

 

[bombinuass]

well i got offered a job down there, any brittney got one at kennedy space center. so insted of paying 500 to tow it here i can move there for 70$ in gas plus a job. so why not? ill have the money for those rims at the meet.

 

[supraguy@aol]

Well, that does sound good.
Besides, FL> Gainesville.
