Pics of the Work in Progress

Here are some pics of my 86. It is still a long way from being finished. The previous owner abused the hell out of the car. It needs a new paint job desperatly as you can see from all the original red that is coming out from the peeling black paint. The new carpet is going in very soon. Took off the fake cowl hood which was fading to white. Still needs a radio, car was stolen Feb. 03 and still haven't replaced the radio. Seats and door panels are from a 91 TA. I will be polishing the factory wheels after I replace all my sensors that are shot.

Links didn't work, pics are below.

Pic deleted, perhaps you should re-read the rules.

Thanks-Josh

Your paint may look "crappy" as you say but at least your body panels look straight and rust free.

The only other TA goodies I have in it are the seats. My seats were black, but they had faded to purple. For the front and back seats, headliner, visors, and door panels I paid $125 at a junk yard and they were in awesome shape. They still need a little cleaning up, but other than that they are in great shape.
