updates on the '85 GS with a couple pictures....

Ok guys, my cars a piece...we all knew that..ill give you access to the pictures but just remember that its a work in progress and that its NO WHERE NEAR COMPLETION
...k two more things
the front drivers side fender is in the basement cause the door wont open with it on....and yes i did spraypaint the hood and the rear drivers side quarter panel.....why? rust... thats why, i sanded the rust out, roughed the paint up, and sprayed it......better to be spraypainted than to be rusted out...at least i can take it to a good body shop later on and have it repainted, cant have new body parts welded in (well...i could..but how much simpler is spraypaint.)

all the pictures are here:
http://slingo.mine.nu/~slingo/car/

the one that id like to show off is the finished headlight surrounds..... cleaned up and freshly sprayed with plastikote paint...



im trying to get rid of the rust and get the car running, cosmetic stuff will come later...as well as engine bay pictures .....
anyway...enjoy, and remember, please dont laugh at me

Hey, it's coming along, that's the important part.

What kind of seats are these?


They look like Old Skool 280Zx, or 300Zx seats.

i dont know, they say PRO-FIT On lever that pulls them forward, really comfortable and sticky..cant wait to be driving with them

btw mike i decided not to go for that 13B, too much work and then theirs always the possibility that the motor would go soon after i got it..

Looks like you've got yourself a nice little project! Where'd you find the car?

a person at school had it and ragged the clutch till it died......i brought the caru p here and started working on it, it was in worse shape than i thought so rather than "make it run quick" ive changed it to a "restore it to the way it used to be on the outside and make it go fast"
