She needs alot of love.

Bought her for $200..... and she sat in a field for over 4 years.... both windows were down, the whole time it sat.








these are going on the rear when i get time.

 

60k OG , I have put 4k on it.

 

Dont look "too bad".

 

My plan is to fix the pans pull my black intior out of my storage, and swap it all..... get the right door panels and the other 2 second generations t/a rims

 

looks like a good project. have fun with it

 

She looks great in gold ! Been thinking about painting mine in this color. Do you have some other pictures ?

Bring this babe back to life !

 

eww, screw rust. I think you'd be better off parting it and looking for a cleaner one.

 

It's a shame what people do to these cars!! and please bring it back to life! and I can't wait to see more pics!

 

Not sure what those first two pics of rust are, but please please say they aren't the corners of the floor pan leading in to the bottom of the door jamb. That is one of the worst ways (and most frequent) ways they can rust. Not impossible to fix, but not simple either.

 

im assuming those ore the floors in the first pics, since the windows were down for 4 years... however from the pics the inside doesnt look too bad considering

 

I'm gonna restore her just for you guys ^^

I'm gonan bring her back to life, sadly these are the only pics atm, when i start gettin payd a lil better im gonan really start the restore, and there will be more pics.

If i part her out, then one more t/a suffers a sad death, eff that

yes there the pan/ door jam corners. =[ sad ..ya i know

all the cloth is junk, the sun ruined it. i literally leaned on a seat and put my whole arm threw it.
.





Just got the new tires one her though, im useing the 2nd generation rims until i get the other 2 and get them refinished.....but i got new tires on her ^^

 

it looks surprising good for sitting in a field for all that time.

 

Alot of people will try to discourage you from saving the car and will say the rust is too bad. I'm not gonna say that. Be warned this is a lot of work, and you need to do it right. Search the threads and find the guys who have done this before, and copy what they've done.

Good luck. And isn't this the definition of a phoenix (firebird), to die and rise up?

 

Well... I'll tell ya what.. it's cooler then mine PLUS you get to see the pheonix rise from the ashes.

Cool car man.

 

Subscribed. Can't wait to see her brought back! Good luck and don't give up... it'll all be worth it in the end, and you'll have saved another thirdgen from the crusher.

 

for 4 years in a field it sure beats what my floors look like. and im assuming thats you in that slideshow thing as your sig on post #1, am i correct in saying that?

 

no its not me, just hot chicks lol.

I never thought of it as a phenoix.
ive got a interview comign up soon, if i get the job i will open a resto thread and u guys will get to see her peice by peice.

 

lmao^ that works too

 

Looks like it's a good project. I like that color

 

I like! Keep us posted.

 

been tryin to talk to my grandma into letting me park it in her garage and start gutting her.... she has yet to subside lol, ill get her to let me do it eventually.

 

doesn't look in to bad of shape for 200 bucks, I usually don't like gold cars, but I really like the gold on that
