    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.


        it's a Kenny Powers quote on wheels

              On again, off again. For now i'm going ahead with trying to make it nicer.
              What's wrong with yours?

              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?
