*** Sexy Street Seven Drop Top build ***

Hello everyone, I'm a long time FD owner been on here for some time more of a lurker but would like to share my Vert build.
Here she is the day I picked her up for a whopping $2600 & 59k on the ticker. Attachment 609708 Attachment 609709 Attachment 609710 She did have a few issues as expected seats were trash, drivers side window switch was moody, one front caliper was seized, exhaust leak & annoying rattle and blown rears shocks. I really wasn't looking for another project car as I'm already knee deep in builds but at this price point couldn't pass up this convertible. Overall the car is in good condition original paint & top. The 2 prior owners put a roof over her head her entire life. |

First order of the day was a new window switch and borrowed calipers off my FD.
Attachment 609705 Picked up a Top Speed exhaust (very good quality and completely stainless) and used Racing Beat header Attachment 609706 Replaced the seats with S14 ones I had hanging around. Attachment 609707 |

This Vert is getting mostly left over parts I got laying around. Some Work CR Kai 17x9 wheels all the way around. (no worries tires have been replaced & camber fixed on s14)
Attachment 609699 Some Fortune auto 500 coilovers will take care of those blown rear shocks Attachment 609700 |
Hows the height on those S14 seats?

Geez, wish I had parts like that laying around! My poor S5 vert would probably be a bit further along than she is... Still, very nice build so far!
