The seats took a while to put in. You have to take the tracks off the first gen seats and modify them to fit. If anyone whats to know how to make them work email me and I will give you more info.

Thanks for the seats greg. They give the car a hole new look.

See you on the 6th

I got my seats from my friend with the third gen. Only 200. They are in perfect condition.

 

Hehe, love it. Like the Rotary Inside logo. Is it custom or can something like that be ordered?

I'm assuming since you added those sweet seats, you added the rotary inside logo on the back window?

 

My fiends dad has a sign shop. He made it for me. If you want one, I would be happy to get you one.

Let me know

 

Sorry to bring up the stripes....AGAIN, Sorry. But I believe stripes are dodge inspired. And I unfortunetly hate dodge because my bro's former Dodge Daytona shelby Z was a great quick car and broke down constantly. I understand the concept of "breaking it up". Unfortnately the daytona incident made me biaised against all dodge looking cars and especially stripes. That and rice. Thats why I will never let any stick on my paint in any fashion, even under a clear coat, its forbidden. I hate RICE! LOL. My stock '85 GSL had red pin striping on the edge of the fenders and I happily removed them, I also removed the rubber molding like you have, thats cool. NExt FB I get, I will remove the side reflecters and wield them smooth to add a more smooth look. Other wise I think your car looks Good.

 

I wanted my car to be different. That is why I put them on. not To try to be like dodge or any other car

 

nice car... Good job!!

 

it took a while to make it liik like that

 

It would be cool to see more pictures of fixed up first gens on here

 

I was reading a thread saying what size rims are the best. Those are the kosi rims from www.tirerack.com they are 15s.

 

Stardust blue? Where can I get Tender Metallic Blue touch up paint? It's code is: V3

Wonderful car!!!

I like the wheels and that colour is nice

Max

 

It's high in front because otherwise the offset on those wheels cause the tire to rub on the wheel wells over any kind of bump right? My first aftermarked set of wheels was offset by .25 inches more than stock and I chewed up the side of the front tires pretty quickly.

 

I think that if the car was any lower, it wouldn't look so balanced. Now that car looks good and it looks like it could probably go for a drive in the country as well. Those slammed cars not only have poor rear suspension geometry, but they aren't practical for the street.

As for the body style, the blue is nice, but I'm really partial to the black trim both on the bumpers/doors/body and around the windshield. The car looks great though, the trim issue is just a matter of taste. The wheels are very nice as well. As for the stripe, it's very well done and fits with the car's customised image.

removing the plastic bump guards seemed easy enough to me so i heated it up and started pullin... it was goin good then i hit the middle and i guess since its been painted befor and its older paint, it riped off chunk... so yea you are prolly gonna have to do some minor bondo work...

 

although i do think the trim gives it a better look... not so plain... like somone on here said its a matter of taste, only reason i took mine of were to paint my car...

 

I hated the trim. Made it look like he car was stuck back in the eightys.
