Aug 2007 update

having a cars as a hobby is like seeing shit and stepping on it - why do we still do it? Because of passion

its already over a year and its not done yet. but at least i have (almost) evereything. I'm overbudget and ive veered a little from my original plan.

there were times that i thought about quitting but since i started it, i might as well see it through.. and share it with you guys..

let the pictures tell the story.. i'll elaborate later

There she is guys... 4g63DOHC not so old school power in an old school car.. (not yet in car)

Latest pic.. the car should be in the process of being put together now..

my wheels 13x8 Compomotive Deltas for both the front and rear...

I also have sparco non adjustable racing bucket seats
JDM fender mirrors, etc

other stuff i'm gonna get for the car:
-gas shocks
-lowering springs and blocks
-50series tires (if i can find some wide enough) if not ill settle for 60s

The car is being restored in Butuan City, Mindanao. I live in Katipunan, Quezon City so I basically manage the restoration by phone and E-mail.

The following pics are of the day the car was picked up from the original owner who had the car in storage for the past 16 or so years.

The rear brakes were bonded with rust and there were a couple of rust holes in the fenders, the fenderwells and door sills. The interior condition is surprisingly well for a car of this age and for the price I got it for :p

Te car was towed to my uncle's gas station for initial cleaning and further assesment.

This is my first restoration project but i intend to do a full strip to metal restoration and paint the car show quality. I will modify the car but only with era-specific modifications.

I do not have any prior experience and I would really really appreciate some tips and advice on how to go about with my project.
