ChevetteMane19's 1978 Chevrolet Chevette New Paint!

ChevetteMane19's 1978 Chevrolet Chevette The rims are a nice add on. The paint is not original. It was that goldish color. Now its a black cherry.

ChevetteMane19's 1978 Chevrolet Chevette The sticker says Magnaflow. I just put this new exhaust on recently. It was done professionally. I am trying to debate on whether or no to make it have dual pipes or not. The old exhaust had blown out. It sounded really nice but was smelling bad and rattled a little.

ChevetteMane19's 1978 Chevrolet Chevette This is the original 1.6L 1 bbl. Has 43K original miles. I have kept this car up to date on tunes ups. I had to replace the windshield washer pump. The air conditioning works very well. I haven't had to do any major work to get this car running very well.

ChevetteMane19's 1978 Chevrolet Chevette This car has a very straight body. no dents, 98% rust free.

ChevetteMane19's 1978 Chevrolet ChevetteThis is the old carpet. It looks white. It should be dark camel tan.

ChevetteMane19's 1978 Chevrolet ChevetteI have taken out the old carpet and I am replacing it with new molded carpet. The old stuff had a stench and ripped on the passenger side floor.

ChevetteMane19's 1978 Chevrolet Chevette These are the seats. no rips. but ugly. I am going to get them reupholstered pretty soon. I have the shag seatcovers on. I think they are amusing. If you look closely you can see my original AM radio. HA. it works great and all, but unless I wanna hear about a race or something it does me no good.
