Long time lurker has joined the ranks!
 

Hi folks,

I am in the Chicago area and have been around for quite some time. I finally bought a '93 FD3S with 54K miles back in March and have been doing some work to it on the weekends, mainly rebuilding the rat's nest and doing a bunch of cooling mods. I also polished all the rusty bolts and nuts under the hood, re-finished brackets, and re-finished almost all parts under the hood.

Here are some before and after pics, plus a couple of outside pics after I did a paint correction :)

Everything is rusty and crusty... and nightmare headlight wiring waiting to be sorted!

Looks like a lot of elbow grease but those after pictures looks amazing! Great job with all the little details they make a big difference and welcome.

Looking good! Glad to see another FD in Chicagoland area.
