    Nice action shot . But man that is one beat M-Tech .

    Do you have plans to ever restore it cosmetically or are you just going to continue beating it into the ground ?

        Okay seriously though, I do have plans for it, I do not plan on selling it anytime soon, I am too sentimentally attached to it. So even if it takes like four years, it'll happen.

        I mean really, this is all it needs:
        $85 - New fender (already have, needs to be painted)
        $150 - New m-tech front spoiler (already have, needs to be repaired, and painted)
        $2500 - Fresh paint
        $1000 - Minor bodywork
        $900 - Reupholster interior
        $100 - New tierods
        $2000 - fix automatic top (or $500-$1000 convert to manual)
        $time - replace non-airbag pedal box with airbag pedal box
        $250 - m-tech 2 steering wheel
        $100 - new antenna mast and grommet
        $50 - euro grills
        $300 - new hood (c/f, maybe)
        $??? - new top
        $50 - misc. body clips for m-tech body kit

        So about $8 grand and the car would be in Very Great condition!

          OK fair enough . So its the old financial situation thing again that is so familiar with a lot of us .

          It will be the shit when you can devote some $$ and time to bringing it back to its former luster .

          Just spent some time swapping a fellow members M-Tech to a 5-spd and I think I really grew attached to it in the process .
          Not really a Vert guy myself but I can see myself in a nice clean modded M-Tech one day .

              at least I can say I'm not a hard parker, driving events are what have been helping me messing up my car! and plus they take the money I could be spending on looks, haha.

              antenna and rubber grommet - salt flats
              misc mtech body clips - salt flats
              fenders - drifting events
              new m-tech, bumper, fresh paint, bodywork, new headlights - canyon driving
              new control arms and tie-rods - track days.

              so you see, I've already got control arms and new headlights, so it's a slow and steady deal. As long as I'm fixing more than is being broken, I'm okay.

                    Nice angle on the straight! Keep up the good work.

                    What suspension and wheels are you running for your Cabby?
