OK... THIS CAR I GOT IT IN JANUARY 2009 FOR $15.00 DLLS. FROM AN OLD GUY, HE PARCKED THE CAR UNDER A TREE WHEN IT STOPED RUNNING, SO HE STARTED USING IT LIKE A STORAGE, IT HAD GREASY TOOLS, YUNK, AND THING THAT HE DIDNT NEED. WELL... FOR THAT PRICE I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE AN IMAGE IN YOUR HEAD IT LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE THIS   V    ITS NOT THE CAR, BUT ITS IN THE SAME CONDITION

                                          

I STARTED BY GETTING A SET OF TIRES FROM A FRIEND THAT HAS A PROBE TO MOVE THE CAR TO MY BACK YARD. ONES I HAD IT AT HOME I STARTED WORKING AND FOUND OUT THAT ITS NOT EASY TO GET PARTS FOR THIS CAR. I LOOKED ALL AROUND TOWN AND INTERNET FOR THE BACK DOOR,FENDERS,HOOD, TAILLIGHTS, AND FRONT BUMPER IT WAS HARD BUT I FOUND THEM ALL IN THE SAME COLOR EXCEPT THE HOOD, FOR $120.00 DLLS. FOUND THEM 2 HOUR IN TO MEXICO

  

 

 CAR WASNT RUNNING... GOT A TUNE UP, A NEW FUEL PUMP RELAY, A NEW RADIATOR, A USED BATTERY, A NEW POWER STEERING LINE, NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM.... JUST TO GET IT RUNNING RIGHT! 

 

THE PARTS WERE IN BETTER CONDITION THEN THE ONES THAT I GOT IT WITH.

THE INTERIOR GOT IT CLEANED OUT HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLINER, VICER , DOOR PANELS, THE COVER FOR THE BACK ON THE CARGO AREA, AND THE PLASTICS FOR THE CARGO AREA, AND NEW FLOOR MATS 

AS YOU CAN SEE IT ONLY HAS 124304 MILES... ITS NAT BAD FOR A 1991. IT HAD A TAPE PLAYER BUT I GOT THE ORIGINAL STEREO FOR IT. GOT IT FOR $5.00 DLLS.

HAD TO TAKE IT TO A PROFECIONAL TO GET A GOOD JOB DONE ON IT. ALL I GAVE THE GUY WAS THE CLIPS FOR THE VICERS AND THE CARDBOARD FROM THE HEADLINER AND DID A GREAT JOB. HE CHARGED ME $80.00 DLLS.

 

FROM ALL THAT JUNK HE HAD ON THE CAR I ONLY LEFT THE HOME STEREO SPEAKER AND THE EXTRA AIR FILTERS, AND THAT CARGO MAT ITS THE ONLY THING LEFT THAT I NEED TO CLEAN

HAD TO REMOVE THE PASSENGER SEAT TO INSTALL THE ORIGINAL RADIO AMPLIFIER THAT CAME WITH THE CAR BECAUSE SOME ONE TOOK IT OUT, THEY JUST LEFT THE WIRES CUT. GOT THE AMP FOR $40 FROM THE JUNKYARD.

                                

ITS ALOT OF WIRES, BUT ITS EASY.... NOW IM GOING TO HAVE A RADIO 

                                 

ITS A 3" IN 4.5" OUT GOT IT ON AND IT SOUND CLEAN. THAT WAS $40.00 DLLS. 

MY GOAL IS TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THIS, DIFFERENT COLOR.......

 

I KNOW THATS NOT A PROBE ITS A RX7, BUT THATS THE LOOK THAT IM GOING FOR. WITH THE HOOD SCOOP, THE HEADLIGHTS, AND THE SMALL SPOILER ON THE BACK

TOOK IT TO A FRIEND SHOP TO GET IT STARTED ON THE BODY WORK

 

 

 

 

                                     

I NEEDED THE LIGHTS.... SO I WENT FOR 240SX HEADLIGHTS

 

BUT IT NEEDS SOME MODS SO THAT IT FITS RIGHT

 

 

I HAD TO CUT THE HOOD IN ORDER TO FIT THE LIGHTS AND FILL-IN ON THE SIDE OF THE FENDERS FOR THE PROPER FIT

 I'LL HAVE TO FILL IN THE HOLE WITH FIBERGLASS .

 GOT THE SCOOP FOR $30.00 DLLS FROM A GUY. IM NOT GOING TO JUST STICK IT ON THERE....NO, IM GOING TO GET IT MOLD IT TO THE HOOD

CUT THE HOOD AND MADE THE SCOOP FUNCTIONAL

FINALLY GOT SOME WHEELS 15" DRAG DR16 GOLD WITH A 215/60/15, GOT THEM FOR $1,000.00 DLLS AND GOT IT LOWERED FOR $20.00 DLLS AND RETURNED THE OTHER WHEELS.

 GETTING IT SANDED DOWN

AND GOT IT APART SO THAT HE CAN GET IT READY FOR A COLOR CHANGE......WHITE OR BLACK!! I THINK ITS GOING TO LOOK SWEET IN BLACK.....

 SOME BODY WORK DONE 

 

                                  

 

 

 FINALLY GOT SOME FIBERGLASS WORK AND SOME BONDO DONE ON THE FRONT CLIP. WE HAD TO DRILL SOME HOLES ON THE FENDER, FRONT BUMPER AND HOOD SO THAT THE FIBERGLASS HAS SOMETHING TO GRAVE FROM. AND DID SOME WELDING DONE TO THE HOOD TO MAKE IT STRONGER.

FIBERGLASS ON THE HOLE OF THE EMBLEMS (DOING A NO BADGE STYLE) AND SMOKED THE TAILLIGHTS AND THE TURN SIGNALS ON FRONT.

  

 HAD TO ADD ABOUT 1/2" TO 3/4" OF FIBER GLASS SO THAT THE FENDER AND THE LIGHTS WERE PERFECT AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE IT WAS THERE ORIGINALLY AND A SMALL FILM OF BONDO TO MAKE IT SMOOTH

 AS YOU CAN SEE, IT HAS A SMOOTH BODY LINE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MADE FOR IT

 

MOLDED THE SCOOP TO THE HOOD, YOU CANT REALLY TELL BUT THE SCOOP WAS EXTENDED FROM THE BACK AND THE FRONT WITH FIBER GLASS AND SOME BONDO

                                   

                                                 I THINK ITS GOING TO LOOK GOOD!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 THE FIRST COAT OF PRIMER JUST TO GET THE INPERFECTION

                           

 IM THINKING OF NO SPOILER ON BACK,.... IT LOOKS ALOT CLEANER...

IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE FREEZE PLUGS, SO WE HAD TO TAKE THE ENGINE OUT TO REPLACE EVERY SINGLE ONE AND SOME OTHER THINGS THAT BROKE WHEN THE ENGINE WAS PULLED OUT.

                               

FIRST COAT OF PAINT AND ITS LOOKIG GREAT!!!!
