Looks pretty rough, but nothing a few weekends of labor and some fresh parts can't fix.

Someones gotta do the drinking and fun having. I usually oblige to both tasks with gusto.

I think we need to change Mariano's title to "Tatoo'd Love Boy"

Looks like a good start!! If the clutch is fresh, just re-use it, I did when I pulled my parts car apart and found an almost new clutch in it. I still have that clutch now, 70,000 kms later, in a different car with the same trans and a lightened flywheel. When I pulled it apart 5 k ago, it was like new, no need to replace new clutch :).

(sorry for the rant, but saving some green here and there never hurts, but do install a new pilot and potentially a throwout if yours is worn/whatever)

Good work man. Polishing really can bring back paint quick.

My boy Joe has been detailing since...well, shit....since a long fucking time now. He kicks ass, even though he is dumb as a stick.

I am doing an alarm in his pile of Chevy truck. He is detailing the beejezus out of this car. We gotta find some seats. She is not sure if she wants sports or not, leather or cloth or whatever. She can have whatever she wants...I said so.

The dash has no cracks. The windshield is not cracked either. The interior is in pretty decent shape except for the seats. There is a bad rear panel, so I gotta fix that...and reupholster the rear deck.

All the trim will be re-painted shortly, and re-installed.

I will likely do a pair of 6X9's in the rear sides, with custom grilles. I will likely do a pair of component 6.5" in the doors, and whatever she wants as a deck, likely the Panasonic CQ-C7413. 2 amps, a single 8" sub in a vented box...should sound pretty good. Full alarm with remote start, keyless, window rollup, door LED's...the full meal deal.

I have a shopping list together for BMA. Will likely order tomorrow, so I can set up a swap party. Hopefully a mini-meet too.

Definatley gotta find some wheels and a set of M3 springs...so she doesn't notice it is lowered.

Thanks for all the props, guys! This car should be pretty damn nice when done.

I have a question though...do all late body cloth interior cars have a cloth insert panel on the door panels?

Luke

No, they are actually sort of rare.

PS: Holy shit that is cleaning up nicely!
