Just bought a 94 323 SE as the base of my new project car. I plan to use
MX-3 front and rear subframes, engine and chasis wiring harness' and a curved necked KLZE.
The car wash seemed like the best place to start.
It looked a little better after.
The engine compartment was a little yickey!
I am saving the 1.6L for my other 323 so I hosed it down also. I used "Revive" engine degreaser. It is the best degreaser I have ever used.
Before:
After:
Then I pulled the interior. (I plan to use an MX-3 chasis harness)
I actually power washed the inside of the car!! I figured if it fried the wirring, it would not be a big deal. People at the car was stared in disbelief
Then I took the dash out.
After that I took out the engine.
That was day one! Somehow I think the project will slow down a little from this point on. Well at least until I buy a MX-3 parts car. Next round I am going to knock the rear sub frame out and paint the top and bottom of the floor and the engine compartment. I have to fix a little rust in the passenger rear inner fender also. I screwed-up the subframe to rad support nutserts, so I got to somehow fix those too. There was some kinda metal splash sheild inner fender type deals under the air box that must of been retaining water because they are dust?! Cold air via a rust hole?! I will have to have a closer look.
