b22ri22an 96 vert, Car sold please close Options

[b22ri22an]

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

Very clean vert

Has your convertible top ever been replaced? It looks to be in very good condition and your rear window is so clear that I almost thought you didn't have one

[b22ri22an]

i believe the previous owner replaced the top right before trading it in, thats what the deadlership told me anyway, but yeah top and glass is in great shape the rear defroster works as well

Looks good on those GT-S wheels, I'm looking for some as well. Glad you ditched the chromes.

Make sure you bring this to the meet mayne!

[b22ri22an]

[MaskedMan]

nice imo spoilerless looks good ive had mine like that for 2 years but every now and then i feel like somethings missing....i wish they made a sure-fit lip spoiler for our lids...

[SwissFerdi]

After seeing the seats in person, I'd say it was definitely worth the money. They look awesome.

[CoreyST]

OOO I like the Vert. I've only seen one around my area and is was not taken care of at all. (actually come to think of it including mine I've only seen 3 6gc around my area)

[b22ri22an]

i may be putting the spoiler back on... body shop wanted $600 to fill the holes and paint.... i may try to fill the holes myself have to decide soon before it rains lol

thanks Ferdi looking forward to the next meet

[cheela]

OMG $600. do it yourself, it'll be more satisfactory.

but nice choice on the 7gc rims. Im still looking for a pair myself.

[b22ri22an]

Door Panels arrived today, installed them 10 minutes after they arrive and they look awesome, pics to follow later today.
