3 years owning my hatch, I have built others in the past but always wanted to take one to the next level. I found this hatch in Las Vegas and the owner was very honest about the condition so
i went ahead bought it sight on seen. I drove the car about twice a week for a few months until i decided to begin the tear down. Originally the car was just going to be a simple re spray with a k swap but things
slowly change as i began to dive in.

How she looked when i got her.

 

Took advantage of vacation time and started stripping her down.

 

Once she was all stripped down a friend of mine picked her up and brought her to his shop, here we removed all suspension underneath

 

Removed factory fire wall studs, trans bracket and mocked up the brake tuck

 

Dropped her off to the body shop. i did PDR all around to avoid doing as much body work as possible.

Receiving these photos from my painter was exciting, the build was just about done paint / body wise

 

 

wet sand

 

While the hatch was away for paint i took the time to gather / restore parts

 

suspension was completely re done

 

 

sent all the hardware from suspension, interior ,

to get zinc plated

 

Ready for pick up!

 

since the car was 2 hours away from me i slapped the suspension on quickly and got it towed home

 

And then assembly began, this part was a bit overwhelming since i had so many parts stacked up, i chose to work in sections.
