1990_LX's Official Progress Thread

[1990_LX]

I'm not sure if the grand master on NYM will approve buttttttt I want to do a progress thread to show how things are going. I have been really busy lately but after Thursday I'm on break so I'm going to be hammering some rust removal out then! I'll do pics in a little while But I just want to get this whole thing approved first...

I dont see what the problem would be,nothing wrong with showing the progress

 

[1990_LX]

Cool, I just don't know if he has a certain place he want's progress threads in...I'm working on pictures now so bare with me.

 

[1990_LX]

I'm still uploading pics but here is some from when I got it back in October...I know it's rough but couldn't pass it up for $300.

I don't have too many of how it was in October but there are still some missing that I haven't uploaded to photobucket yet.

I picked up parts from this guy in Galway...all for free I picked up other parts for free but I don't have any pics yet.

We love to see pictures... Progress picks we will enjoy even more because we actually see all the hard work you put into it!! Keep them coming!

This is how it sits now, it's in pieces and the fenders and bumper are just resting on there, nothing is bolted up.

Ugg, this garage is such a mess, when my brother finishes his car were rolling both of them out and cleaning it up.

5.0/5 speed and sonic blue It's a long ways off though. I want to get it as far as primed, then work on motor and while swapping motors have the bay painted, then the rest.

Don't forget about the rear. The 7.5 won't hold up to much abuse. I see one on Albany craigslist. wants to trade but who knows? Good luck on your project. I'm thinking of the same with my 95 3.8 with the 408 i'm building.

I hope to get it primed mid summer I need a quarter panel patch job and at 15, I can't shell out $1000 and up

 

[1990_LX]

Oh, and that pic of the tail light panel with the crappy runing primer on it isn't permanent I just sprayed it so it wouldn't re-rust for a couple of days.
