Wow...I am impressed. Looking good Matt

I'm sad. You have a nice looking, fun little play car for less than my two rear tires cost

I think I will just have to wait.

I definitely want to see how this plays out. Looking really good.

Can we get some more interior pics? What was the condition of the interior?

I just looked up the MSRP of it brand new....13k!!! Haha!

The interior of the car when I started was moldy in some spots but not all over and not over running the car. After a can of carpet cleaner and a scrub brush the mold was gone and after a half day in nice weather opened up everything was dried out. Nothing was soaked with water or anything just damp from being closed for 5 years. The dash turned out looking great with its deep dark black look that looks better than my civic's. I will get more pictures when I go over to open it back up today including one with the top up which is now cleaned. There are black spots all over it but they are very light. I was reading on a RV forum that they make a spray that will take care of that so i will get that today as well. I am also going to see what it does cold when I go over today. We took duct tape and sealed the crock up well on the intake just until I get the new part. If it does not want to start right up I will go get a pvc valve I believe.

If anyone was wondering about the wheels here is what I had in mind.

More pictures

The dash just needs to be scrubbed a bit more and the spots will come out.

Not much space for speakers

Rear seats not bad for leg room

Hide away top

Rear speakers

The trunk

bigaudiofanat · 08-20-2010, 01:46 PM

Rear shot

Also a side note, the rear view mirror was just laying in the floor when I started. Used a repair kit and is now back on.

m4a1mustang · 08-20-2010, 02:17 PM

kenchan · 08-20-2010, 03:36 PM

bigaudiofanat · 08-22-2010, 05:36 PM
