My plans so far will be boosted mild built ls. Suspension, redo all interior, and mod stock body some. I will post as i go along. But i am a college student with limited funds, My completion date will be at the most a month and a half from now. I go to school most of the time.

Here is how the car came, two gs rims, and two steal rims. It needs a shift linkage(the bushing gone). Some ebay coilovers, camber kit in front, and tan interior.




The car came with tan interior so i will be dying it all black, with rit dye and sem paint. So far here's whats ben done.
the ugly tan.


the black after


But here is a pic of trunk carpet. done (dont mind the spots its my camera lens need to clean it.)

 

fiberglass and filler are gunna fail u need a plastic weld and plastic filler dont even bother using fiberglass or filler ud be better off using duck tape and bubble gum

 

i agree with Jordan, he knows his **** dude, but good luck.... cant wait for the pics

 

who makes the plastic filler? i go pic some up. and some plastic weld

 

How Iv always done plastic welding is, On the out side face use some masking tape to hold it in the correct place. Then on the inside face take a low wattage soldering iron and melt it so it joins together.
Then pull the tape off the outside face and use lots of glue to seal up any gaps and make it stronger.
Then on the inside face put some duct tape over the melted joints just to give it bit more strength.
And finally a light sand to remove excess glue before painting.

 

yea i got it done i went to a body shop and ask how they would do it even bought the stuff the bumber will be done soon.

 

Take better pics dude cuz I just got a seizure trying to focus!

Good luck with your build!

 

I started shaving the trunk today.







An the bumper is almost done


As for the interior im done i just have to install it




I putting it in tonight then i will update

 

Next on the list is motor pull then mild tuck and shave. then paint.

Engine will be stock block with probe pistons, stock rods, micro polished crank, port and polished ls head then t3/t4 turbo kit, ys1 trans with stage 3 clutch.
Still undecided about suspension i need a good price with good performance.

 

Did you weld the holes on the hatch or just cover it with bondo? If you just used bondo then prepare yourself for it to crack and fall out eventually.

 

their welded here is a pic of the welder ground

nothing on my car is half *** i got to much time on my hands to not do it right

 

if your not gunna half *** anything id suggest that you go and buy a black interior cause all them plastic plannels that you painted are gunna be all scratched up and look like crap after a few months the problem with painting the pannels is that if theyve been treated with armoral ther pretty much junk went u go to paint them the paint is nvr gunna adhear properly plus that rattle can **** isnt gunna help. Buy a black interior

 

I just picked up a 91 DA blk with tan interior. haha... also cant stand a tan interior and was going to dye the carpets. I pick up a black interior(most parts that are tan and rear seats was missing fronts) and goin to convert the interior to black.
Good luck on your project.

 

Well thanks for your opinion. But i will keep that in mind

Thanks and good luck with the interior. Keep me posted on your interior swap.

 

The panels should be fine, as long as you prepped it right, sand down and de-greased it with Acetone or something of that nature. Rust-Oleum sells a plastic primer that would help stabilize the paint.

 

SEM interior paint is awsome, prep it right and it will not fail. Good luck.

 

yea its sem paint and then clear coat on the pieces that will receive wear and tear. also i soaked them, sanded them and wiped them down with thinner.

also some more updates




now i'm pulling the motor and trans to do the engine bay.
