just thought i would share my project. like title says. plus cage, seats, wheels, steering wheel and other stuff.

when i drove her home from ky. 3 hrs away. original owner

after i put itr shift boot and sir gauge cluster.

thats then...... heres now. in my garage... a lil cold but we gots a heater. sorry i didnt get step by step pix. drunk and cold kinda forgot. haha

dirty as hell. the guy i bought it from lived a mile off the highway and it was all gravel. and he was the orignal owner. so 10 years of gravel dust is behind all the plastics and shit. suckd!

and we did a lil dry ice and got most of the sound deading out of it. that wasnt too fun.

^^ the last time i drove it with the single slammer in it.

decided to go ahead and pull the dash. it suckd. but i found a link somewhere that had step by step.

and my heating source... lol

ill keep updating. we r doing lil by lil. no hurry. i want it to be done b4 IA08 meet. but who knows. money and time will tell. i want it done right.
