            This is that mtech car, and it's is an original mtech car, it's too bad the original seats were in such poor condition so we took the leathers.

                had a feeling it was but said to myself it couldn't be because the body was pretty good on it already. But very nice work man i'll def be watching, i just picked up a 92 vert myself. Completely beat to shyt interior, roof and some body rust so you might be hearing from me in the future lol

                    I'll be glad to hear from yah, and yeah the paint looks good from far but was far from good had a 10 year old respray and it was peeling in areas and just needed to be completely redone.

                      Got the majority of the exhaust tacked up, sent it off to get welded today a local fabricator owed us a favor so he'll be doing the 13 welds on these sections. And when it comes back I'll finish up the hangars and get the muffler welded on. More photos when it gets back I hope he does I nice job, I havnt personally seen his work, but we'll see.


                      The photo was a panoramic, so it's a bit distorted in the picture.

                            We're getting real close now, the plan is to drive it down to h2oi in ocean city Maryland on the 27th

                            Things left to do:

                            Wet sand buff andInstall rear bumper
                            Fix a new coolant leak
                            Replace the 4:10 LSD with something longer
                            Oil change, coolant flush again, and tranny fluid
                            Install coilovers and wheels.




                            Onto the photos from the last couple of weeks






                            I'm still super happy I shave the plastic cowl cover from the original drivers side wiper.



                            Got the exhaust back from welding so I polished it up and threw it on the car after fabbing up some hangars I'll have photos of it complete tonight.



                            Small drip on the bumper... Oh well sh t happens I'll wetsand it out.





                            High quality photos coming soon!

                            Figured some may appreciate this here too I polished a brass coolant tank for a friends e3 last week.
