cleaning (in progress)
plans:
pull harness and modify some wiring/delete some things
paint engine bay
rebuild head and block
paint engine
battery relocation (trunk)
replace:
inner and outer tie rods
sway bar endlinks
all chassis bushings
drive shaft input (OEM recall kit)
clutch
flywheel
main seals
belts/waterpump, etc
...almost every bolt, hose, and vacuum line
probably a bunch of other stuff i'm forgetting to list
dash... i was going to hold off on this, but i destroyed the heater core, while pulling off the hoses.. i guess replacing the dash will also make it easier to fix my wiring, since i'll be able to just pull the entire harness, which will also make painting the bay easier. it's going to be a lot more time and work, but the end result will be more satisfying
updated my parts list.. everything in the pending lists, are things that are getting ready to be installed. i'll probably be adding a lot more to these lists in the next few weeks
1gB came AWD. 1ga were only FWD turbo Which brings to the rarity L O L Hard to find car fo shoooLol, forgive my random-ass question but did you have anything particular in mind with that build name? I know a little bit of French so it caught my attention
edit: Also, did you do the AWD conversion on it, or did it came like that from the factory? I actually don't have any clue whether Lasers ever came stock with AWD. I only know they came in FWD N/A and FWD Turbo. Either way, you've got a cool unique build going !
huge update... sorry i havent been keeping up with this (not sure if anyone is really that interested... but that's why we are here right?)
these last 2 months have been crazy. i've tried documenting everything as often as i can remember to. i have broken up the major steps i have gone through thus far, above. enjoy
hashtag, dat D-S-M life!

Coated everything with Urethane clear (the difference in quality is night and day from the dupli-color cans). A few pieces reacted with the new paint, so i'll be stripping and recoating those within the next few days... the engine bay looks amazing! but i'm going to wait to post those pics until it's done drying and the trashcan sitting in the bay is out of the way . Reassembly is on the horizon!
beautiful work ur doing with limited resources and space ...that takes dedication ...i'd put this thread in ur resume !
