Project 13- Loosing parts
Project 13- Loosing parts
This is the project log for the car that I've named 13. My last car had rusted wheel wells, and I'd rather not do body work if I don't have to.
This build will consist largely of the old parts from my old car, with some upgrades along the way as well as a built head. Not too many pics at the moment, but more to come.
Bringing it home:
Hole in the trunk that will need to be cut out and replaced:
Suspension off of the old car with prothane bushings and extended lug nuts.
The car came with TYC clear headlights in the trunk, so the stockers came out and the TYC headlights and Euro turns went in. No pics of the new lights installed yet....
The car up on stands:
Keep in mind that this will be a daily driver/weekend track whore, not a drag or show car. I am however hoping for 170 hp with stock bottom end, decked head, Crane 16's and an S-AFC Neo. We'll see.

I'm pretty sure they will always be that cheap due to the fact that they're a recall item.
Project is looking good. I'd go ahead and do a quicky clean up job on the underneath and wheel wells while it's up on the stands and hit everything with some gloss black Krylon. It makes a huge difference.

Modified SRT shifter:
Just the stock PT style knob for now, but I'll be looking for a die to tap it with to use a quality aftermarket knob.
Better pic of the headlights:
Brake lines:
Taking out the sound deadening :
Just pulled the carpet up
At least 5lbs here:
Just the ashphalt stuff left. Blowtorch time soon.

I do not agree with your shift boot, but I completely support you and pat you on the back for doing something unique and different. What exactly is that pattern?
Also, thanks for posting a how-to on installing the SRT shifter in a 1st gen. I'm glad to see somebody continuing to support the site by adding knowledgable info in a well written, well documented how-to.

There inlies the problem. I've never been coordinated/interested enough to skateboard.
I actually think it's cool now that it's something you're into and not some gay designer label fabric. I'll be following this project, I like people who try unique and different things while still keeping it clean and tasteful. You've definitely got that down.
