So I decided to pull the FC out of the garage today for the first time since last spring. It was covered in dust from the bodywork and just sitting around, so I hosed it off and took a few pics.









I also took it for a ride, it runs and drives 100 times better than it did before. I didn't go far since I don't really trust the brakes yet (they were getting pretty soft as I pulled into the driveway) but just a few blasts around the block revealed the huge difference from before and after. Last time I drove it it ran on 1 rotor because of some wiring issues, now that's all fixed and it's so much better.

 

nice its a good feeling to drive the 7 after such a long time.....u getting it painted?

 

I doubt it. I started doing some bodywork (all the primer spots) There were multiple locations that were rusted completely through, and repaired with fiberglass (I know, I know...). But, if you look closely at the pics, you can see the both rockers are totally gone, and the body is pretty rough and crusty in general. After a long and painful ordeal, I've decided that the body is pretty much unrepairable, so I'm just going to concentrate on getting it mechanically sound, then buy a shell in the future and swap all the stuff from this car over to that one.

 

I'm painting my car also well just the bumpers sides and lip and the price is killing me even tho I'm getting a good deal still it hurts the pocket of a non working man.

 

thats cool that might be easier too.

 

Uh oh, better get Maaco.

 

holy christ first pic looked good o.O
