Default My project Eg...in the works

<U>UPDATE: PAGE 2</U>


I bought a lightly wrecked 92CX hatch for 300.....some idiot tried to "fix it"and made more work for me when the relized that they were in over their heads. I have many plans like del sol seats when the find the keys, suspention, and a ton of Composites Fab goodies.

This is how I bought the hatch




and the baby 8 (change but no swap)

I can't believe not a lot of people have seen the vinyl seats. I get asked about my grey ones all the time. I would keep them if they were mint, but driver side is ripped so I'll switch out to some grey cloth. They suck in the heat also.
