so here is my 89 si. bought it of the orriginal owner in the south so it had no rust. he had started ricing it out but i managed to save the car so here goes the build. its my first full build and i am doing it all in a garage. the clear and paint wont be perfect but i want to prove you can build a nice ride in a garage with hand tools and a normal air compressor. so the beggining pic is this.........



so heres the tear down, i either bought brand new oem or improved on everything so any questions feel free to ask.
