as for the headliner, i do not recomend you try it your self cause i utterly destroyed a headliner then took me 4 tries to get this one right. ive since done it 4 times on other vehicles sucessfully and if you want one done i can do it. just give me the style you want it and 50$ for parts and labor (theres about 4-5 hours of sewing, placment, cutting and ironing... which is annoying but i got good at it)

Forgot to ask him when he called about doing a trans swap today but he pm'd that to me.

The red car was bought from a board member for a couple bucks. We cleaned it up real good, had to rewire the entire thing because it really seemed to be a project car (everything was cut and half-assed though, bad welds all over?) We sanded the rust off the rockers down there and bondoed places that needed it and then instead of having different shades of red, we got some gloss black and it looks very cool. SOHC, ATX, 9k on the head, 110 on the block. A/C, heat, manual everything, kickass stereo, clean, just a basic '95 pretty much. All that is left is to redo the exhaust (hence the need for the manifold) and throw the ATX shifter on there, as this one is fubared. I like it.

The blue car has been down for a quick minute, and I'm driving the wagon again (13 mpg OUCH). The blue car has LOTS of toys waiting for it in my basement. It's getting the paint this week (yay) and if the wheels survived the winter beating that they took then I won't get new ones, but I definitely have been looking at BBS knockoffs. Some 17's. Intake wise...I have an iceman sitting down here, I'm almost done porting out a plastic manifold, which I really only sat down once to do it. I also have a 52MM tb and all of that will go on soon. Exhaust wise, I've got an Apexi knockoff, but it's a pretty nice 2.5" piece to a fart can. I like it. I'm hoping to hit up Mancini and get one of those TTi Longtubes soon.

Suspension wise, I've decided on a set of goldlines. I'm looking at a set of new front struts and then going to consider some strut tower bars. I also have a couple side projects that I'm going to finish up here in my basement and then hopefully it gets warm and that's that!

Yeah but that's not what I'm doing...

That was an example of the embossing I will be doing, but I have a large Chrysler Pentastar.

You can see where the seals are beat the fuck out. They need a good cleaning and the entire thing needs to be waxed now.
