Got a little more done.
Old seat belt receptacle:


Now the newer one:


And the front grills in place:


Guess Sunday me and my dad will be spending the day hooking up the wipers on a toggle switch. Gonna run a relay and a fuse so the circuit will be safe.

Did an oil change at work. Seems to run better and the oil was pretty nasty from the car just sitting for around 6 months. I'll do another in 2,000 miles just to make sure everything is cleaned out of the engine..
Also received my motor mounts, trans mounts, guibo, and poly bushing for rear diff yesterday from esc. Only took 3 days to get here. I'll be staying after work to get this stuff done.

Yesterday was good and bad.. Changed out all the broken mounts but the diff.. When doing the motor mounts, I thought I had enough room between the hood and intake.. I was wrong, so now it has pushed a dimple up in my perfect hood. Just another thing to add to the body to fix... I'm starting to think this car hates me more and more.

So I decided what I'm gonna do to the paint. It's gonna match my truck and only cost about $150.. But yesterday a rock on the interstate hit my high beam and busted it out and this morning a fuel line to pressure regulator is leaking. So gotta get that fixed. It's parked for now, picking up new wheels this afternoon.

Got my wheels, need a good cleaning and small polish session..
Also got my antenna delete plug and my hub rings so wheels are centered.
Can't wait to get my lowering springs in. I will take pics tomorrow when everything is fixed.

Alright here's some pics!
Totally need bigger tires once it's lowered! But I think it changed the look of this car, can't wait to make the paint look old and rusty.



My antenna delete.

Sooo here's an update.
Sold/traded my spacers for some parts I needed.
Got the brush piece finally!

Changed out the high beam glass. Old one had a hole and miss growing inside.

New one is perfect.

And old wiper motor. Feels great to have wipers again!


Next things I'll order.
New license plate lights
New dome lights and brackets
Getting yellow wrap for the headlights and fog lights
That's it for now cause I'll be at the beach for a week and car will be in the garage while I'm there..

That's a joke right?

Is what a joke?

The tires? Yes:( came off a slammed Honda. Gonna pick up a set of 205/50 so the stretch will be gone.

I think he was referring to your comment about making the paint look "old and rusty". Why the f*ck would you do that?

[Bggdnssnguy]

The paint is complete shit. Cracks everywhere, a nice dent in the rear, bondo cracks, paint runs, rust hole forming in rear apron and surface rust above tail lights. It would be sanded with 800 and then sanded with a scrubber pad for pantina look, then shot with satin clear to preserve everything till I can actually have time to paint and fix it.
It would only be temp while my truck gets done with its show quality paint..

But it y'all would like to chip in on the body fixing, then please donate.

hes referring to your comment about old and rusty paint. If you do such a thing the whole forum will firebomb your house.

Plus the car runs and drives great. I'll be changing all the suspension to poly and stiffer springs. So it will handle like a beast. But if me doing this to my car I paid for, gets me hated on here. Then I'll leave.
