Heres my project from start to almost present gotta get new pics up but heres what i got done and i will tell ya wats in store for it :)

Heres what it looked like when i first got it. I traded my nice dirtbike for this because i wanted a project and it wouldnt be fun if it was easy so here we go.


The trunk floor was rusted so i cut a hole out and welded in the new piece. Muffler is a obx racing twin loop which sounds sick deep throaty sound not the annoying 20 dollar buzz can. Ya see the altezzas haha not cool there gone.


Car had no windshield so i towed it home with my truck it does run perfect now that i fix the timing belt on it its fast and fun. i need a driver door because mines screwed doesnt look right. the previous owner did the body work and all i can do is cry haha if u think using great stuff foam is doing body work u should be dragged out back and shot.


the door and the wavy quarter panel bad body work.


this side aint bad at all its good.


interior is crappy all glass and dirt. yes automatic but its going to 5spd soon as quarter panel is done.


front all is now primer grey havent got newer pics


corner shot


Wing is no longer there i trashed it i want a type r wing.


i started chizzling away at the bondo to see how bad it is and there is round bullet looking holes it was supposively hit by a drunk driver but everything is straight just bullet holes in the quarter panel wtf lol.


Stripped the interior out to paint it from tan to black.


some newer pics of interior painted with vynal and fabric paint looks factory pic might look like crap but in person looks good.


was not kidding bout him using great stuff looks like crap gotta change quarter panel and get out all the great stuff dont kno what he was thinking.


these r the konig monsoons but there now white and good looking this pic the rims r not on car just rolled ova to see what it would look like.


Hope u like it so far and for future plans i doing tein coilovers, springs, stand alone, turbo, light pulleys and cam gears, bucket seats, projector halos, strut bars, upgrade all engine components like cams, exhaust manifold, crankshaft, pistons, etc.

You certainly have the work cut out for you.

Are you sure the previous owner used the foam for body work, or could be be a method of sound deadening?
