i picked up this 4door for $300.00 and now i have my new project.
my goal for this car is cleanliness not speed,im gona try to make everything look as clean as i can. i plan on making this my daily driver,so i will be keeping the A/C and other's




today me and my buddy tonyshock really started puttin some hours down on the car and got a few things started


started shaving the valve cover for some fresh paint

sorry for not showing the process but here is the finished project


this car came dpfi but i decided to make it mpfi cause i have the manifold and parts for it, here's the manifold i'm using just got done cleaning it

this dpfi is going byebye

here is a before shot of the engine bay with valve cover laid on , an before the mild wire tuck and winsheild wiper system removal begins


this will be gone soon

removal of the windshield wiper system



gettin ready for paint

plastic paint $9.99 , silicone is for re-install

after

this sheild needs some tlc so i will be painting it high heat black

more pics will be added to the finishing of the wiper removal and a few other things we got done with today but it got dark, and there will be so much more to come throughout this build process

Ok, this is Florida, why are there not windshield wipers? I could see if this was Arizona or something, but come on.

i decided to use degreaser and wire brush for the job.


its started to look pretty good


ill get pics up of the mpfi swap prolly in a few days

 

nice find. i hate doing any sort of wiring. good luck.

 

thanks im not really into wiring to much either.

 

wiring aint that bad, especially after u remake a wiring harness for ur stereo cause the guy wired it in directly

still, nice work

here is a pick of my new ps pulley,also here is a pick of the bay after a lil more scrubin

 

Nice start! VC shave looks nice. If the rest of the build turns out that good, I cant wait to see more progress.

exactly! i need your help so we can finish the tuck

 

sorry i havent been keeping this updated, but im trying to finish my hatch's wire tuck and engine bay shave. check it out

 

Coming along. Lets hope this car doesn't end up looking like of the rest of the four doors on this forum(junkyard front lip and foglights, redline in moldings, etc) I just don't know why you would get rid of the windshield wipers on a DD but to each his own. So what color do you have planned for the car?
