How much did you already sell off before getting the coupe? Can't you pretty much throw all your parts on the coupe?

Pffft. You would be.


And JESUS. I hope you were okay.
That Takata harness saved me. I was unconscious and the airbags didn't deploy but I was held in place. That's why i'm quick to use those in my cars. Paramedics said I should be happy that I was wearing them

That's awesome, I'm looking at them for my car. I'm just debating if I want green or black.

And see, it's cases like that where I laugh at cops/people for harrassing about harnesses and saying they're illegal.

Some harnesses are illegal. Takata meets all the regulations and has the info on the tag. It's most of the 2"wide harnesses that aren't legal. So check into whatever you get just in case.

I know some are street legal and some aren't. It's just the general assumption that people who have them in their dailys are illegal.

So, I wanted to get the car together a bit before I posted it up. I had quite a bit of cleaning to do that i didn't take pictures of. The car was just sitting in a grassy area soaking up sun and becoming a hotel for little wolf spiders. anyway....

eww ugly oem wheel with a cover. This crap had to go.


clutch pedal cover missing.


Torn driver's seat with dirt coming out lol


lots of work ahead of me. This dirt is thick too.


much better


got my old stuff thrown in there. Im on the hunt for a new wheel.


bucket seat in and parts out for cleaning


oem hardware ftw


threw the trusty SiR on there


razor bladed the gunk off the windwos and used some invisible glass on them


slowly taking some of the unwanted parts off of the car and cleaning as i go


simple green


not the best paint, but it'll do the job for now. Think im going to concentrate on parts and the swap then get this thing dent free and painted


bumper ready


the roof is rough. All that sun time ruined it




went to rinse off a layer or two of dirt


should clean up quite a bit


its wet but the bay is cleaning up pretty good as well




vacuuming out gobs of dirt and getting the awful smell out




had to wire up the blower motor to work properly so i can make use of the a/c and defrost
