Just wanted to post an update since I haven't in a few years. I still have the car and it's still going strong. I just made the trip from California to Ohio and it ran perfectly, making the 2250 mile trip in just 38 hours. This car has now driven across the country twice so yes, DSM's can be...

Nothing major since then, just minor things like slotted and drilled rotors and painted brake calipers. I've been saving up to do some major mods soon though. My next project is the cooling system with a Mishimoto X-Line radiator, 2 Spal pusher fans on the condensor to replace the factory fans...

Thanks man, and I went with Tein for a few reasons. First the price was really good, around $700 for all 4. They also have some cool features like adjustable dampening, and adjustable ride height that adjusts independently from the spring rate. On most coilovers when you adjust the ride height...

Haven't updated this in awhile so let me show you what all I've done in the past few months. The old carpet in my car was a weird grey that didn't match any other grey in the interior, and just wasn't in good shape (Sorry I don't have a picture of it, forgot to take one before I trashed the...

We finally got it back together and were able to drive it! Everything is mostly done, just a few small details we have to do. But I'm very happy with the way it turned out, she's a beauty!

The car is back together and paint is all done! Now just for the finishing touches...

The weirdest thing happened, it's almost like the trim around the windows absorbed the primer somehow and stained it. There were other marks on the trim anyway, so we decided to paint it black with vinyl paint. It's all the details that make a car go from average to show quality. This is one of...

Thank you! Yeah i wish we could get all the dsmers on here in one spot one day

Got most of the body panels back on just to make it easier to work with, those bumpers are really flexible. We sanded the clear coat down to get rid of any orange peal and imperfections, then buffed it out and it really shines now!

Time for paint! When we first laid the paint on the car, i was a little worried that it wouldn't turn out very well. It was really dull and not at all like I imagined. Then we hit it with the clear and oh man did it shine! You can see the difference the clear coat makes in these pictures

Primer is sanded down and the car is re-taped for paint!

Primer is done! Next is to sand the primer down to get ready to paint

Got the car all sanded down and taped off, all ready for primer! Only had to fill in a few holes

The first step was to remove the 3M wrap that was on the car. I tried pulling it off in the morning when it was still cold, but man that was a pain! So I let the car sit in the sun for a little while and it peeled right off. Then I took all the body pieces off to get the car prepped for...

Here are the first pictures that show the condition of the car when I bought it. The body is a little rough, but as you can see the engine bay is really clean. Almost no rust anywhere, and runs like a dream!
