94LS reverse/rebuild!
So i got my 94LS about 2 months ago now with 133xxx for $2200. not too bad eh? a little quarter panel rust, mostly surface right now hasn't turned into a huge problem yet. the interior was pretty much gutted (rear seats/carpet/spare/some panels on the hatch wall) and the tires were [freak]ed because of the ebay coilovers causing the tires to wear HARD on the inside, they were completely bald on the insides. haha, oh my! i found out out basically everything "modded" on this car was baught off ebay with the exception of the DC lower tie bar. YAY. had reverse glow gauges (which i dont mind but i have a soft spot for the teg gauge cluster) ebay coilovers, ebay catback (which i actually got a bullshit ticket for, DONT EVER waste your money on that its a pointless waste) ebay "racing seats" which are hideous, a front bumper and the best of all, an ebay ITR emblem on the back, not to mention the spray painted tail lights hahaha. i had been out of work when i baught this so i started as quickly as possible!
pics of the first day!:
So after a few days of waiting for my insurance card/registration to clear and what not, i decided to patch up a few little dings and what not that were making me mad!
nothing serious, just popped the front fenders out and gave them a little love with a rubber hammer, ***** not perfect nor would i recommend it but it works for the time being. the hit that **** with some primer!!
(this was a pain, there was literally a 1/2 an inch of what looked to be super glue/adhesive where the acura "a" emblem should have been, i had to bust out the grinder!)
primed then resanded for that smooth flava!!
Next i wanted and NEEDED to get rid of those gaudy *** seats, so i posted them up and traded for some 2000 LS cloth seats. i really didnt care what i got, but these look a ton better, i take crap pictures!!
mmm, i actually like them a lot!!
So, i decided to investigate why these tail lights looked like complete crap, HELLO STEEL WOOL!
Gave it a few scrubs:
OH man! there is life under there!!
ill take those anyday, even though the 98-01's are hella smooth lookin'!
one more cosmetic for this post:
stripped the black paint off the meshies, mmm looks so much better!!
MORE SOON!!! (paint, more interior, and what i plan on doing with the motor!!)
