it had a bra on it, thats why the hood has that wierd dirt. it needs new pads all around it seems and an alignment, and i need to get the horn working so i can get through inspection. but tommarow and saturday im gonna have little time to work on it, but sunday is gonna be a major cleaning day. wash it, clean the interior, take out the "system" wiring, put in my head unit from the Z, try to get the pads done and the horn working. and my alignment will have to wait when one of the guys at work have some free time. but now for the pictors!!!1

i will get more on sunday when i clean the car up some...lucky me the car really is pretty rust free. framereails are good, none on the strut towers or in the engine bay and very little on the hatch under the wing.

yep

yes i know...removing the foam is on my to do list. but the rust underneath it doesnt seem that bad though. and hopefully the rain holds off for today, i think i have some satin black left over so im going to paint the silver trim pieces today and im ordering new lower control arms today from PDM racing, new balljoint and all new rubber bushings in new stock oem arms for only $100 for both! and im also getting a head unit mounting kit too. hopefully i can get this thing registered on wednesday so i can start driving the piss out of it.

^ Looking good Morgan... I see you bought the PDM arms, nice, did you get the poly bushings I was telling you about?

i just ordered them...and no. i didnt get the set with the whiteline bushings as they were 121 a piece, but they had others ones with just normal rubber bushings for 100 for both!! so i saved my self 142 bucks. and im out of paint...so i need to go get some for the trim pieces, and i need to get another radio bezel. and i cant do anything today because the roofers took over my driveway...
