Thanks....I know the roof is what had me thinking twice about getting it, but I found a hatch a local j/y and cut the whole top off! So Im stripping it down now so I can take it to the body shop and get it painted. When I bought it they had done a 00 dash conversion and a power window conversion. I still got all those parts, but they did a sloppy *** job, so now im doing cleanup aswell.

Yea my boy traded him a del sol because he had another ek the silver one in the background, he took the b16 and the 00 front and put it on his and I got the shell, it actually had power doors already, 00 dash, and rear disk so that was a come up......


I've still been thinking of what color to paint the hatch I had a color in mind but not sure if I should go threw with it.
