Awesome man. I can't wait to get one.

There were some really nice ones in texas when I was looking.

Thats a good looking Montego I go back and forth on painting mine. That color is definitely growing on me. Congrats on a good find.

nice!

Nice! Congratulations, i think she needs new wheels though haha

good going

Yup, it does but first I've got to replace the pillow bushings.

Very clean

nice

Good looking car! Throw some wheels on it though!

If you want to donate some I'd gladly take em :)

Is that still the original paint? Has to be the first montego 7 I've seen without faded/peeling paint or clear. Nice find!

and here's the point where everyone suddenly keeps their opinion of the wheels to themselves. :)

So amazing

how much?

Very nice FD

How much did I pay for it? $13.5k

I believe it's been resprayed. It was a factory MB though.

Very nice car and for what they found that needs fixed it's not too big of a deal. I've had friends in Washington pick up much worse for what you paid.

This car is great!

Switched out the wheels, so no more complaining from all of you...

where did you take it to get it rebuild? and would it cost more or less to just get a low mile jdm one?

Tri-point for around $800. Took them about a day once they got going on it.

Installed Upper radiator hose, Sake Bomb Garage Aluminum Inner Door Handle and 99 Spec Tail lights this weekend.

congrats. I'm on the hunt for one as well

Keep looking. I saw a lot of beat up FD's before I found this one. Since it looks like all my pics have errors here's the car again.

More HP power !

The rims very nice ! How many HP ?

grats! very nice looking

Around 310 hp, but right now it has a bad tune. Also the after market wheels are for sale if you like them.

very nice

Thanks

Good move ditching those tri spoke chomes. Not my cup of tea. I see you have a greddy/trust SMIC - I have one of those in a box awaiting to go on. Alot more substantial than the factory one.

Yup, this car is pretty much set up. Just a few tweeks and it's good to go, then I can do my black interior conversion and 99 spec exterior conversion

Turbosmart Street Boost Controller in the mail now.

Nice man! Any special plans for it?

Autocross ever so often and put it in import cars shows that come through Los Angeles. I was going to try for AutoCon next weekend, but I couldn't convince anyone to show with me. Basically the performance on the car is done by the previous owner. I just need to make some tweeks to fit my preferences. Then for the exterior I'm going to do a 99 Spec conversion then paint the car something like a Subaru Blue. The interior will be black with either orange or red highlighting.

I definitely feel the need to do the battery relocation.

Love it!
 

Really nice car, i like the color alot, im thinking of painting my FC this color :icon_tup:

Oh and the battery relocation will deff clean up the engine bay :nod:

nice!

Nice paint, I wish I can find a nice looking one in my area.

Just keep looking. It took me around 3 months of searching before i found this one. they all either had great bodies but the engine felt like it was about to go, or the engine felt strong but the bodies were all beat up.

Nice man!

Thanks, think I'm going to bring it to MazFest.

The '99 conversion is an excellent choice...mine has a '99 spec front bumper, tail lights, and rear spoiler. They're beautiful additions and make the car stand out even from the other FDs.

One suggestion: when you do get the '99 front bumper, fabricate some sort of plastic or plexiglass barrier that sits underneath and protects the bumper from damage. Because if you lower the car it sits awfully close to the ground and is vulnerable. Here's what mine's like:

Very nice. It looks like it's supposed to be part of the car. Like your wheels also.

Thanks for sharing. Good detail to have on wheels/tires.

Thanks, I'm going to upgrade to Work VS-XX wheels when I get the cash together. Actually, those same wheels would look fantastic on your car if you paint it Subaru Blue.

You're probably right
