    I did a little work in the couple of hours I had before I had to come back to college.

    Stupid Chrome Wheel Well "trim" and the Magnets Removed:




    And I got rid of the lame ricy seat covers:



    Not bad for $500

    Future work:

    New Battery
    Rear Strut Mounts (Pass. Side is Broken)
    New Tires
    A LOT of body work...

    I'll be all worth it though, I've wanted one of these for forever!

            I am planning on doing a BP swap and fixing the rust over the summer. I may just fix the body for now and change the engine some other time, it all depends on my cash flow and time (oh and the price of gas).

                oh yeah, $300 less than the one ad for it! I probably could have gotten it for $400 if I would have pointed out the broken rear strut mount. that was fun on the tow home.

                          No good track times (did a 8.80 in the 8th with slipping clutch) just kills.

                            I started the body work on the driver's side today, I ended up just making my repair panels. I'll get some pics up when I get it done, I'll go though the whole process

                              Body work progress

                              Well this thing was rougher than I thought body wise.

                              A shot of my driveway before I got rid of the aspires and started hacking at the MX


                              I circled in red the areas I had to cut, make panels, and weld.



                              Here's the fun part, just the worst section for now...
                              pretty rough huh?


                              All cut out, found some old bondo!


                              Sand blasted in there, sealed it, and now made the panels
                              My trusty roller


                              A good bend to start


                              testing the bend


                              Skipping ahead a month and a half to last week,

                              All in primer after all the cutting and welding is done




                              This week

                              good news







                              i still need to buff it out.
                              I also scored a nice rare factory RS spoiler at the pick and pull :D

                              I'll get up some updated interior pics later. Didn't do too much in there, just got rid of some ricey junk.
