Finally got my baby back!

Finally got my baby back! *56k Beware!!*

Well, she's been a long time coming but I finally got word today that she was all fixed up and ready for me to pick up, so I hauled ass over there and started to work on giving her some TLC. I ended up just getting another y8 dropped in, boring I know but it's fine for me right now.

Once I got her home, I noticed that she needs a lot of work to get to the point of where she was when I saw her last... It looks like someone started a fire in the trunk, 4 or 5 bb sized dents, both sides of the front bumper are broken at the bolt on, the rear bumper sags a good 1/4 inch and has mad scratches on it, and turns out I am missing a suction line for my A/C... Oh well, atleast it will be fun

I haven't done anything to her just yet, except for cleaned the bejeezus out of the inside interior, and armor-all'd the dash and s**t. Oh, I did put in my red/clear tails, and ended up flipping the bulbs in the driver side

I just barely got done washing her, so forgive my night time wash job, but it was close to 100 degrees here today and wasn't around to wash her as the sun went down so I was a little late Anyway, here are some pics I just took for the f**k of it. I wasn't going to post them, but I figured I may as well.

Any ideas/tips/tricks/suggestions/comments/critcism/praise/tips($) are extremely appreciated!

I'm not feelin' the rims. But it looks good. She cleaned up rather nicely.

 

[Nok]

Yea, the rims are pretty old and small, but for now they'll have to do because now I am BROKE!

But here are some more pictures, and I know the motor is nothing special but f**k it.

And here's how f**ked up my bumper is, I haven't looked up inside much but I know it's not sitting on top of the white tabs on the side rear panel. Any ideas?

[Mr. Lin]

What kind of header is that? It's all rusty LoL

 

[Nok]

LOL, I knew someone would point that out

It's some podunk 4-2-1 rusty ass 2pc that my mechanic put on because I didn't want to wait for my DC to get here just to get my car home so I told him to throw that on Still haven't cleaned the leaves and s**t out of the bottom of the windshield, but I have all day tomarrow so I'll try and get some better pics. Plus, she looks better on flat ground, my driveway blows...

Oh and a new filter, that thing is trashed

what happened to your car in the first place?

 

[Nok]

Well, to say it simple... My friend became owner of her.

I drove her two weeks after my friend's sister's b/f bought it for her, and was instantly in lust and ever since then I was on a mission to buy that car. After about 1 1/2 years of TLC, them two broke up and sold her to my friend. From there it went down hill... He ripped out the competition style stereo system, fried the fancy clutch, put stickers EVERYWHERE, and eventually blew the motor. From that point, is where I am now the owner and loving it!

Oh, but I say I got her back because she's been sitting at my moronic mechanic's shop for about 1 1/2 months...

Today was a beautiful day, so I decided to pull off both bumpers and clean the s**t out of the inside as well as attempt to do some adjusting to the bumper. Someone must have sat directly on the bumper because all the supporting plates on the back bumper were pushed down which is why the bumper was sagging so horribly. After doing all this I ended up trashing my car so I washed her again and managed to get some more pics as the sun was going down.

Here's the before bumper...

And the after bumper...

I know, still looks like s**t but it looks better eh?

 

[LazyDC5]

look way better...good job.....u should lower it a lil more

 

[Nok]

I was thinking of dropping her just a little bit more, but sometimes she looks perfect, and other times she looks a little high. But guess what?!? Yup, more pics! I'm sure ya'll don't really care anymore but here they are anyway! I think these shots give more justice for the drop on my car.

AND! Check out how fux0red my exhaust is

[SkeeboSi]

HOW DID YOU FIX THAT BACK BUMPER?!?! my back bumper on the driver's side is sagging a bit and i can see the white bumper support that it should be hanging on... ive been dying to fix it or at least make it better myself but i dont know how... hell i dont even know how to take off the back bumper. i remember trying and almost taking apart my trunk. please post specifics on here, pm me, or AIM me: SiDOHCVtec160

 

[FhCRubarb]

Bump for that question ^

 

[Oni]

I've got a silver 98 with the same tails and the same saggy ass front bumper with a gap between the grille & hood.
I don't think the chick that owned the car before me was a very good paralell parker cause both bumpers are beat to hell.
Does anyone know of a DIY forum on how to fix a saggy front bumper????

 

[c_diddy]

nice...i want those tails...i'd say, leave the height alone, it looks nice, that's where i wanna be....if you keep messing with it you'll never be satisfied..
