Here i guess is my "project" that will fund my other project (all motor showboater) coming real soon

back story:

Got a call from my friend who sells many many cars saying he needs to get rid of a car he just picked up bc there isnt any room on the lot. We go back and forth about the car me not wanting it him wanting me to buy or sell it for him. Long story short i pick it up for 1500 bucks what he bought it for.

i buy the car being told this its a 98 with a B20 swap in it. I assume LS trans shity e-bay coil overs the usual for my area.

I pick the teg up blind (never actully drove it LOL just looked at it) Well i discover that the trans is a B16 trans 2 mins into driving it home. I get home pop the hood has skunk2 intake mani and a blox 72mm TB as well. I jack the car up pull the wheels off the back. Omni Power coil overs all around and in the front omni power upper control arms bloxs LCAs 24mm rear sway bars. then i look at this exhaust its a older greddy exhaust.

So after all i would say its a steal at 1500....i pulled the B20 sold it for 500 and the Blox TB 100 bucks so im out 900 bucks so im pleased.

does need some body work but i went to school for it so thats not hard at all from here


here are some pics from when i picked it up and washed her up a lil bit

 

some of the pictures are small only have my cell phone ATM. but this is how i got it.

what i replaced when i got it more black interior pieces and put a new driver side tail in it and buffed the headlights.

So i drove it for a little bit had my built motor laying around so i pulled the B20 and put in the LSV

 

This is what i had till the other week i got bored with it and wanted to start something and do it the right way. Shave and tucked engine bay tucked fuse box and most likly brake line tuck and ABS delete

after a little fun time fighting with my dash i got it out and tucked the driver side and pass. side....BTW abs sucks so much



started to shave away i forgot to take pics of the welds on the pass side but i will on driver

 

got all the rad holes i wanted to get rid of welded up then put the first layer of filler on is

.


not to bad for a 85 dollar welder i picked up for craigslist lol

layed down some filler

 

not bad
nice start broo keep it up!!

 

 

a little more shaving has been done....both shock towers are done and the rad support is done.

 

bye bye heater core

 

 

 

pretty much have the back of the firewall all done so i finished on the pass. side and driver shock tower.





Then i threw down some rattle can primer to look for any bullseyes or bad edges

 

I pulled out the Brake booster and the clutch master cylinder are all out getting re-worked sanded cleaned and re-painted silver color.



Been sanding away till my finger got to raw to continue going but i got the firewall i would say about 80% done just little bits left to do. I put down a coat of primer on it to find bad areas looks good already tho :TU:

 

I threw down some primer on that side to see if i can find some problems which i did...wasnt suprised


Firewall is pretty much done just need to 320 the firewall

 

Need to spray etching primer on the front and back and on the frame rails

just need to pull the throttle cable should be good and done





i know some of the pics are foggy its from grinding and sanding like a mad man with the garage door shut

 

But here is a pic that i took this past weekend when i was actully working on it



I have a few parts on order and coming in right now....have all my parts for a fuel line tuck from Greg at Go-autoworks the other day, picked up another 44mm WG. Im also debateing if i want to pick up my friends 5 lug off his teg for my 4 lug and some cash

 

And i am on to the last dent that is on the car started to sand it up get it all ready for me to pull the dent out then under coat the *** end of the car that is hidden under the bumper

 

this is the last 5 months of my build all the way up till yesterday. What do you guys think?? any input is welcome

 

need moar picharssss. Looks good, looking forward to seeing a full body shot of the car. I'd get a better rad mount to

 

yea that was my rigged upsupport lol ill get some body pics this week

 

what could this be???

 

here is all the work that i have done today

i stripped all my wheels down so that i can paint them. Also undercoated the rear end of the car and have some pics of it all

well i just picked up 4 brand new rubbers for my rims...and HOPEFULLY i have a god forsaken front bumper so i can get this bitch in the paint booth to get some color on it
