You may have seen me posting small questions about the car but low and behold, it runs and drives. Back in August 2018 I spent $400 to purchase the car. Didn't go into any gears except 2nd,4th and reverse. lots of body damage. Interior was a mess. Being 17 I said it was easy and not too bad.
Here goes my update log:
When I brought it home
Some of the damage
Some priming and sanding
Finished sanding and priming + coilovers
Mudflaps painted and yes, still need to slide hammer the rear
Currently done to fix/restore the car.
$15 -- Junkyard Shift linkage (old was so rusted out through the core it didn't extend 100%)
$146 -- Two new CV axles
$45 -- Primer and Sandpaper
$15 -- Good cleaning product for the interior.
$460 -- Tein Basis Z bottomed out with a collar taken out. Debating on after wheels to get their coil springs that just swap into these, like a smaller spring with a higher spring rate.
All in all so far for what she is, its a running, driving car for ~$600. With A/C, PS.
