I started working on this car in march, but I am just getting around to putting some pictures up. Its a 90 silver hatch, its a hardtop, it does have electric windows, but everything else is pretty much base model. there is zero rust, there was a little quarter panel damage, but it wasnt too serious, no frame damage whatsoever. It has an uncracked dash too. I got the car from a guy who lives a couple hours away, I gave him 300 for it, and he even brought it to my house for free.

here we go this is my buddy dane, he was disconecting the ac, and didnt want to get sprayed, lol

engine out

QuickSpoolSR · 10-26-2009, 12:08 PM

I took the interior out becuase it was blue, i decided to dye the carpet black, and paint all the plastic peices black, i also did the headliner black, pretty much the interior is black as the night

before the dye, i powerwashed the carpet

QuickSpoolSR · 10-26-2009, 12:12 PM

it took me like 15 hours strait to strip the interior, clean and prep each peice and paint them all, the end result is awesome though

QuickSpoolSR · 10-26-2009, 12:13 PM

my cousin joey straightening out the quarter damage

lol, do you really think that tiny amount of refrigerant is gunna make that big of a difference

QuickSpoolSR · 10-26-2009, 12:15 PM

QuickSpoolSR · 10-26-2009, 12:16 PM

i was afraid that the lower part of the quarter where there are some body lines, might be too hard to make look right, so we cut it off and welded a peice from my buddys parts car. Nothing a little sawzalling cant handle

QuickSpoolSR · 10-26-2009, 12:19 PM

QuickSpoolSR · 10-26-2009, 12:20 PM

QuickSpoolSR · 10-26-2009, 12:20 PM

QuickSpoolSR · 10-26-2009, 12:22 PM

QuickSpoolSR · 10-26-2009, 12:26 PM
