hey guys, i have had little prgress ion the last littlw while. i bought a 8.8" rear end to replace the wimpy 7.5" i had in the car. so i bought that from a guy in pickering, ontario. i took the hour drive and picked it up for 100 bucks, and it was all good, btw tahts 100 CAD. so today i went to a free parts day at the wreckers 1 hour from me, i got a couple sets of aerostar axles, and i pleace two into the 8.8" rear end. all i need to do now is worry about the front. but until then i will let you all know as to whats going on with the car.

Ouch! Some spots on that car are a little rough looking. You definitely have your work cut out for you. Too bad you have to do it all outside... that will slow you down a bit if you have a run of bad weather. What are you going to do when it gets cold out? It's nice to see the progress on it... even if it's just in the tear down stage. LOL. Tell us more bout the plans for it like color, interior, etc.

is it me or does the hatch area look a little...empty? some bracing in those voids would seem like a good idea

wel i know it sucks working outside. where the car sits is where my 20x40 garage shoukld be, but we have been busy with everything but the building of the garage. i will be moving it to my sisters garage for the winter.

as for plans...wel....

interior: black interior, with those same seats with the rear matched to the front. i will be looking for some black interior moldings and i will be buying black carpet and dash.

paint: for the paint i have no clue yet. i would like to stay with red, gray, black. But when the time comes i will be looking into the paint samples and i most likely pick another colour. but the engine bay will be smoothed out and painted black. the whole underside of the car will be black also.

tire and rims: 15" cragar s/s rims with 275/60/15 rear and 195/75/15 front.Weld prostar with slicks and skinnies up front, tire size undecided.

hope this give you all a brief idea. BTWcapri what colour is taht gray? that looks very nice, and yes some spots are rough but when all said and done it'll be smoothed out.

thanks for looking all, Nik

you were talking about finding black panels? you can get yourself some interior dye and paint them black, that stuff is really durable and goes on nice. I repainted my console with it (the coin tray was black when I bought it) and its all a nice deep caynon red now...

just my .02

and I am guessing your car was once white? lol

92civy

yes car was white, lol. and as for the paint for the interior, thats wyat i will be doing if i can't find a reasonable black interior. i dont really want to paint it cuz if i sratch it the red'll show, and i couldn't stand that.

Shelty

that dye is pretty tough, I bet if you wanted too, you could shoot some low gloss/flat clear over it to protect it furthur, but I dont know how that would look
