So as some of you guys may know I found purerx7s old candy red fd and bought it fairly cheap. Haven't had much time lately to do much but I slowly worked on it when I had a few hours to spear. With work and kids its kinda hard to do much. Lol but any ways ive already striped the interior out and I striped most of the front end this weekend im hoping to pull the motor out for paint and tranny swap in the next month or so hopefully everything gos as planned and get alot of stuff done before summer.. Plans are to weld up all the holes and seams in the engine bay and mini tub the front wheel wells for more rigged support, plus keeps water and dirt from getting thrown in the fenders and engine.. Then start body work and cleaning up previous body work that was done.. Theres alot of other stuff but its a long list.. Heres a pic or two and ill try to take more tomarrow before sun gos down.
I find it interesting to see how jacked some of these FD's are. The only high point I can find is the learning process is forced upon you and you'll end up being a well rounded responsible owner hahahaha!
This one doesn't seem too too bad...
Man I hear you on that ive looked at some may fds around here in texas every single one I looked at was so close to being destroyed and all unfinished project's that some owners work, not to bad month now one, but not up to my standard of quality, but finally this one came up in for sale in the town I live in and I had to pick it up. Price was right and all the work purerx7 did to it gave me a great starter.. Just needs a lot of work to get it were I want it lol and a lot of dollers haha
As bad as it looks now, I'm glad someone picked it up to bring it back to its former glory. I don't understand the point of buying a nice car like that only to run it into the ground.

Yeah a friend and I were talking about this actually... if people would just fork over the $$$ it takes to actually keep these cars nice we wouldn't have this problem. With that said some of us probably wouldn't be able to get in them at a reasonable price so yeah its a give and take situation I suppose, we use the crap state of the car as leverage to save on the initial cost of buying in.
Hey guys I have a question since im still tryin to figure this site out.. So do I need to ask some one to sell some stuff on here or is there some type of way to post them up? Any info would be appreciated
Yes sir I read these but im not sure if im having problems posting caz im doing this off my phone. Lol.. Sorry guys just tryin to figure this out still.
So finally got one of the other main piece to start my project lol so heres a few pics excuse my parts and other stuff I got piled up haha. My wife and kids dont understand what being a car junky means to me. Hopfully tomarrow I can get organized and start work.
So I finally had times this weekend to.pull motor out and the trans off to get ready to sand blast the front end and weld up all the seams and start tubing the front wheels wells.. Heres a few pics also doing a manual swap and abs delete so if yall have any parts to help me out I would greatly appreciate it very much.
Small up date some clean up on engine bay getting ready for welding up the seams in a couple days if weather stays clear.. And make a bash plate for easy access to intercooler and radiater.
