Day One
As you can see the front end was aligned like a big pile of dog **** the center garnish was foggy, and the One light was very saggy.
Here you can see the damage from a lady backing into him and leaving..
Side shot of the car when it arrived.
These went first..
Really the only rust on the car. anyone got a 1/4?
Showing off the tails.
Engine bay, Needs so much work under there to look good. Which i will start to tackle tommorow, I'm not use to the very little room i have to work.
ISIS oil pan.
Interior is horrible right now.
Trunk was filled with parts.
Okay, so that's how the car arrived. I'm already in love because as i was working on it i found so many surprises some good some bad.
Starting to tear down the front end.
Believe it or not, The front end was held on by nothing but zipties, Now its held on by bolts and one ziptie.
My brother going to town on the center garnish.
Supposedly the car only had coilovers. Well, I cleaned the **** out of all the suspension pieces, still not done. But It turns out everything is aftermarket except the one set of arms, in the front it has tension rods and im not sure what tie rods.
Got the trunk emptied, started repaint it. It was half flat black, half gloss, half red.
Front end went back together fast, my brother Is good with that stuff, onlything thats off now is the hood, it just has bad fitment. I need hood pins, as much as i hate them.
I found a ebrake cover in my friends car, thank godd!! next is a shift **** and shift boot..I also put my matts in and cleaned the seat but didnt take a pic.
Oh yeah, look what works now!?

Day Two
Tommorow, the car is going to the shop to get the strut tower rust fixed. Today all i did was take it out for a test drive, i ran my intercooler over. And Then i got it home after a long time of ghetto fixing. Now it its very secure. I also managed to do somethings.
Engine bay when i started off today.
Getting somewhere
Somewhat clean.
eh...
Here is where she ended today..Wire tuck will begin saturday night, or sunday. as well as catch can install etc etc.
interior, I finally got that 5speed shift trim and a new shift boot, i didn't install them yet. but here is a picture of it semi cleaned up with the mat's.
Some stuff waiting to go in.
I Also got a magnetic drain plug, but then remember that the ISIS oil pan has one in it already. lol

New muteki lugs..waiting on my Powered by max rear spacers..I have KICS 25mm in the front.
New ISIS Manifold on, I coated in VHT header paint. Cause i hate the way a manifold looks after its used. Still have to put elbow and down pipe on. Then fix powersteering leak, and change oil.
