Gonna be getting some pics put up later today or tomorrow. The car looks rough, but I'm gonna do some work in progress pics so you can see before and after:)

Just an update on the car. Have the entire dash out this weekend and am in the finishing stages of painting it up. Gonna have a yellow dash with black accents, and the factory brown carpeting with be replaced with some black. Gonna be tough to keep clean, but the finished product should more than make up for it! Plus, should be ordering my exhaust and intake next week, so should have some better pics coming along:)

Got my exhaust in last night and installed it today. It sounds about the same as the stock exhaust (the muffler fell off though) except the new system has a deeper tone. Will get some pics of it up tomorrow. Intake pics should be coming soon!

Here's what the exhaust looks like finished. Looks a whole lot better than just a rusty pipe hanging from it! Sounds good too:)

And last for now, the dash after I had it out last week and painted it up. Eventually the entire inside will be repainted, but working on sections for now.

The only bad thing is, due to my job I can usually only work on it during the weekends, if then even. It'll be a nice long process until it's finally done.

A little set-back today. Was driving to work, and my radiator cracked on the top:censored: After I got it home and drained the radiator, was able to fix the crack, and will be able to test it out tomorrow morning:cool:

Well, after finally getting the radiator fixed and fixing a minor alternator problem, the car is coming along pretty good. Will be starting some more interior work this week, gonna make a cover for the back hatch so my stereo will be covered up:) Plus, my big project will be looking into a h22 engine swap. Since I'll be going to Japan in a few months, gonna try and find a used engine for cheap over there and do the install when I get back home. Should make for an interesting combo, along with other mods I have planned:D
