[Wren]

Project Marine*
*project is named after a hat the previous owner left as well as all the mud inside

Bought this CB7 for a total of $450.
The original owner stated the following:

Runs and drives. Project car was setting up to rally but never finished. Has tons of mods.

These mods included:
-New Motor 165k
-New cv axels
-CAI
-new intake components
-High flow header and downpipe with 4" baffle
- cat delete
- ac delete
- 2" wheel spacers

I have a ton of ideas for this build but it's mostly cosmetic ideas.
I'll update this list when I get new mods/cosmetic upgrades as well
as update this post with pictures of this project's progress.

Soo this use to be a show car ?

[Wren]

No, it used to be a rally car. I plan on turning it into a show car.

Lol I couldn’t figure out what that thing was on the hood until I zoomed in. Big ole LED bar. Looking forward to seeing you turn this into a show car! Welcome to the forum.

[Wren]

I wasn’t a fan of the light bar , honestly it looks trashy. Thank you for the welcome ! It’s gonna take a lot of work to get this thing looking nice.

[Raf99]

Yaa. Does it have much rust? How's the condition inside the car ?

[CyborgGT]

I'll be honest and say that if I ever get a roof rack for my wagon, I'm seriously considering installing some slim light bars (as in half the height of yours) if they can be mounted between the two sides without looking gaudy. Both front- and rear-facing. The asshole in me hates people who drive around with their high beams on without regard for other drivers; especially when they're behind me and don't get the hint when we reach a stop light and I'm flashing my reverse lights at them.

A rear EDM fog lights is your friend then. They are super bright!

The inside is kinda trashed. Previous owner decided to go mudding with it and now there is mud inside. Seatbelts don't work, Dash is cracked and sorta melted? Attempted to post images but my posts are limited atm. Gonna take a lot of work to get this thing to my liking. I've got an entire list of things I want to do with it. No rust though!

Same, I despise people who drive around with those lights on. I'm gonna remove that light bar as soon as I can get a new hood for this car. The previous owner drilled holes to where theres now rust on those areas of the hood. Good thing is thats that only rust I could find on the car!

It will be good to see it restored. Pains me to see it in that condition.
