You better finish up the first car!

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Don't worry, I plan on finishing the first project before I start the next.
Kitz, it was a temporary secret until I got it inspected and replaced a bunch of things. and I think 5 bays total will be enough. ;)

And here we are back to the first project.
finished up the drivers side today
It's getting there.......

One sale you will regret. Good news is you know where it went and that it will be taken care of.

So back to the grind so to speak

Got some stuff today... struts for the 87 and rear air shocks for the vert. (I keep rubber buffin the wheel wells)


removing the old struts


De-greasing everything to media blast tomorrow




I can't believe there's still paint on this thing.


Just keeping the dream alive.
I guess, now a have even more motivation to finish this car. ;)
That's all for today my friends.

Bet the oil was the only thing that kept the paint on. I assume you are pulling it all apart then blasting, but it doesnt look to be in that bad of shape as far as rust goes.
