i waited till i actually started getting some stuff done before starting my thread, its a very slow process as funds are very low for getting stuff done the whole pay to play thing means alot of waiting for the play part here but heres what it started like, so far i had a ton of mechanical work done no real pictures for that but i started with new wheel bearing on all four corners, then a new oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket and a timing kit, followed by new front and rear struts to hold me over while i save up for coilovers.
my project isnt an over ambitious one, the car will look mainly stock but I want it to look and feel like a new car




how it looked when i bought her

the only major cosmetic damage

I didnt like the chrome rims and couldnt find the center caps for them so i picked up a set of 7gc 16" rims


much cleaner look with the 7gc rims and certaqinly a smoother ride, wheel wells are filled out better
you can just sorta make out that the back seat flap that connects to the top isnt attached getting that taken care of when the seats get recovered


seats are currently in the shop being recovered should of vacuumed before shooting the pic but i was lazy today

just dropped off this at the upholstery shop to be embroidered in the front seats

finally broke down and bought a replacement shift boot got one from bluecelicawife should have it by monday
