The journey back, it's 12:15 am and i still had a 5 hour drive home.
This is where he spent a good 6 weeks while many parts were changed for new replacements such as: all new shocks and bushings, all new brakes (lines and everything), clutch, lightened flywheel, clutch master and slave, all motor mounts...the list goes on. My attempt was to restore the car to factory new.
Interior is in pretty rough shape, plastics have faded and just so much dirt everywhere.
The tear down. Stripped all body pieces and interior pieces. I secured a replacement driver side fender and new bumper to be painted off the car.
Before and after paint.
Light surface rust in the spare wheel well was removed and then primed and sealed. After, I put dynamat on both the inner skins and outer skins of the car. It has made a MASSIVE difference in sound levels. Not a single rattle anywhere.
Just test fitting the body pieces, it's lookin' pretty good :)
