Congrats and welcome.
Fixing that left rear fender isn't going to be fun. Ride height also looks goofy, like it's higher in front than in the rear. |

Thanks, but it ain't the fender I'm worried about (I got a heat gun, I'll just weld some rods to it, pull i out, ect.), theres rust in the front right corner of the engine compartment... a lot

Rust? We don't call it rust. I call it the crap that holds the por15 together.

Rust? We don't call it rust. I call it the crap that holds the por15 together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Well, heres a picture of "crap that hold por15 together" haha (IMG:http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/Blargh1/HellHole.jpg) As for the engine, lots of grease and such. I pulled it, cleaned it up but it still seems kind of funny. The guy said it had a major oil leak, but I found oil everywhere. It even *leaked* right into the air filter. The darnedest thing! ha (IMG:http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/Blargh1/Engine1.jpg) The interior isn't bad as said before. Just one minor problem.... (IMG:http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/Blargh1/Seat.jpg) Someone laid a massive interior eating fart that completely riped my seats to nothing. Thank you Mr. Fart perpitrator Last but not least is my sexy clutch pedal (complete with peanut shells! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ) The clutch cable broke and I replaced it. Sorry if it's a little fuzzy... (IMG:http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/Blargh1/Pedals.jpg) I'll have mor pics up later on in the day! until next time... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mrs.K.gif) |

Wow - you work quickly! My seat had the same problem as your, and was solved by spending $30 bucks on a new/used bottom cushion that looked almost new for being 30 yrs old - way cheaper than hainv it re-covered with teh correct vinyl.

Ha, silly ol' me. Well thanks Oh, here are some pics of the somewhat finished Intake pipes (IMG:http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/Blargh1/FinishedRight.jpg) and (IMG:http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/Blargh1/FinishedLeft.jpg) I could've done a better job, but I'm runnin' out of light. I'll probaly scratch em' up again with 220 abd blast a final coat. |

Ha, silly ol' me. Well thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Don't feel bad, most of the 18 year olds I know would think and "oil bath" is something kinky you do with your girlfriend (or boyfriend - Toast). By the way nice start. Gap does not look bad on pass door, not sagging yet. |
