    Sows arse to silk purse...

    Is it possible? I have a love/hate relationship with this car.
    There are moments where i want to send it to the breakers and times like this, where i want to revive the old cow and turn her into something i can live with.





    I´m going to go against logic and start from the inside out;
    1. re-upholster and rebuild the sport seats.
    2. cut out and power wash carpet
    3. fix leaky heater valve?
    4. dash lights stopped working
    5. re-upholster parcel shelf
    6. window tint

    On the exterior;
    1. rust removal base of windshield
    2. repaint roof and rear quarters
    3. IS skirts
    4. SS brake lines
    5. whatever else i can think of

        I feel the EXACT same about mine. Except some of my problems are worse. Most I've learned to deal with and fix along the way. But I don't know what's worse: having a car that half works, or having nothing to work on.

              Thanks. Looks good from far, but far from good. I think r3v should create a support group for people like us, lol.

                I suppose this is something car junkies go through with their projects.
                Whats wrong with yours?
