So, I guess I should start my build log... The car is a 90 323gt, factory BP05, g-series, larger brakes and front and rear sway bars. It's basically a lx pro but as a 323. I have started taking the car down to just a shell and getting it ready for paint. It'll receive a nice silver gray metallic, which should look really nice. As for the motor, I'll be swapping in a klde and one day turbo. The antenna hole and the runners on the roof are/will be welded over to give the car a bit more of a sleek look. The angry eyes are already finished, but I'm not yet satisfied so I'll cut them off and redo them. Right now the car sits on H&R springs with original 15" alu's that I've never seen in the states. The upper and lower spoilers are in fairly good shape, not sagging, but the paint is chipping and not looking so hot. Let's get to the pics. This is were the car is at right now. Sorry no earlier pictures.

I got a bit done yesterday. The interior is completely out and ready to be preped for paint. The back piece, direct under the lights, had a long white sticker/laminate. I have no idea why, there wasn't any rust under. Getting it off was a PIA. Finally I got all the old glue off, cleaned and "painted" to protect from rusting. I have a good start on the roof and will be hopefully finishing it up today. I need to get some filler before I push the car back outside. Should be ready for paint soon.Too bad I have AWD and you don't!

Ya but I think they won't fit, plus a big problem here is that customers are never allowed in the yard. No self service. So, trying to find parts from something so old is really hard. If the glass sunroof doesn't fit, than I'll make one out of lexan.
The roof will look a lot better once I get some fiberglass inforced body filler. None of the weld points will be visible.Too bad I have AWD and you don't!
