I dunnno, but some big fat spacers would make those look WAY better!

Well I haven't updated this thread in while due to school, but I did managed to get some more work done on the rear.



Tinted my spare tails.


I also started the car up after a month and it seems like I'm leaking fuel. I've temporary duck taped it and was just wondering is it just replacing that rubber hose? Its leaking where the rubber hose connects to the hard line.

Again don't worry about the tape its temp., will solve problem soon.

[Tuee]

What did you use to tint the lights?

it was some window tint from rona or home depot i believe, on my previous car it lasted like 3-4 years with a clear on top, I'll get you the exact name tomorrow

Please properly fix the fuel leak first before you do anything including sleep.

that tint looks so cool and makes the light look brand new! yeah would also be interested. as I live around the corner from Rona/home depot in Toronto.
Wonder if they also carry a smoked tint?

Yes, I will be fixing this on Monday for sure, it scares me just to know that its flammable liquid that's leaking

I don't think so they carry smoked tint, but I hope I'm wrong, let me know if you come across it. Here's the can I used, remember to follow with a clear coat, else it'll fade quickly. I've had pretty good results and duration with this spray...about 3-4 years.

hey guys, just need some help, I'm kinda stuck now because I want to remove the bumpers to get the rest of the body work done. Problem is the bumper bolts aren't budging and I've already broke 3 T55 drives. I've tried a 2ft breaker bar, soaking it in liquid wrench and heating it up. So any suggestions?

[hellakush]

any close ups of the seat pattern? is that a factory black plaid?

[Tuee]

Haven't got much done on the car lately but I've finally managed to get the front taken off, just can't seem to get the rear bumper off, might have to just drill it out. The interior is coming along and I'm hoping to get it done before school starts. Here's some pics.



Front End Taken Apart




FatMat



Everythings a mess in and outside the car, don't worry i'll be cleaning it up soon.

[Tuee]

Well it's been a while since I've updated this, just been busy with school, but here's some progress.

Took it out for a wash, since it was covered in so much dust and also finished up laying the wires.








The carpet was crap, it had stains all over the place, but I wanted to see if I could save it, well here's the results after 20 bucks

After 1st coat

Got some wiring done,
The previous owner had cut the factor harness and just twisted the wires and wrapped them in tape.


This bothered me so ordered a harness and reveres harness,

Soldered, heat shrunk and labeled,



Interior started to be put back together
