            i paid 600 for the car. but i was lookin at it today as i was washing it. the rims and stock seats alone are worth more than 600. not a scratch on either rims, and seats still look brand newwww. lol



            will be posting more pics as soon as they load up on photbucket

                Before the wash







                After 2 hours of scrubbing and washing the car



                Interior needs cleaning, will do later




                Seats r to dang clean to be a 92..lol


                165k on the odo



                Well thats all for now. gonna start taking the motor/tranny out maybe 2mrrw or monday. and im gonna get the auto trans fixed for now, till i can get everything i need to do the entire swap within a few days, instead of piecing everything 2gether here and there. also gonna keep the paint white, just gonna get it repainted the stock paint color. carpet will be dyed black, and maybe gonna paint the interior, but idk yet.

                Lemme kno what u guys think. love questions and comments.

                    yep. the only bad spot ive found so far on the body is the dent in the hood. which will b replaced. and i think ima wash the seat covers and get the MX-3 print restiched red/black so i can keep the seats lookin minty fresh. lol
