Ok so first these are photos from the auction i bought it
I bought it back in december 2013 , It was and still is my first car :)
Just after i bought it the engine wasn't running very well , so we changed (standard) oil, oil filter,air filter, and spark plugs, spark plug wires and the distributor. As we later found out, there was also a big hole in the rubber hose leading from throttle body to AFM. After all that the engine was in fairly good condition, i had no problem with it.
a picture after arriving to my town ( i bought it like 600km away and did all the work above in that town)
Ok so the car wasn't in the best condition but it wasn't too bad and the price for it wasn't too high
here are a few pic's of what was wrong with the car and other random pics like interior and engine bay
sooo as you can see not the best car in the world (rear end is the worst :D )
We've also changed the rear silencer with my girlfriend, and did some minor repairs
After removing the carpet We saw quite good floor , not so much rust :)
now some pic's of what we've changed until now or some random shots :)
small mt1 steering wheel
volvo lip - not so popular in my country :)
trust me , it wasn't so clean before :)
and as a last pic :)
I will end this post here, if this is already to many photos for one post I'm sorry for that :)
In next post i'll show the process of repainting the car and how it came out well... good for the first look but if you look deeper into the paint - well let's say it easy - not so good :P
and after painting I'll show where the car is now (3XX in the title becouse for now it doesn't have any engine in it ... nor transmision, nor 1/2 of suspension, nor most of interior but ... you'll see all of that :)
