Build Time

[DRFTRX_82]

well.... today is the day... it\'s nice, warm, and dry... just the day to buckle down to the project at hand. the RX is going under the knife. ive got most of the body components off already. just taking a little break now. i plan on gutting the car front to back inside and out. fixing all my rust spots, all the holes in the floor, then installing a roll cage. i took some advice from a post i made earlier and i went to mariahmotorsports.com and am going to save some money for the targa hatch, a mode one body kit, and hood. then will be sent in for two tone paint.
also doin a rebuild on my motor and tranny. i figure a couple of months work and it will be as good as gold. will post some pics as thing come more apart and together at the same time.

most of the stripping has been finished all i have to do now is drop the rear diff assembly. the floor is in really rough shape. does anyone know if you can get replacement floorpans? or am i going to fab something up? both are fine but i would prefer the first. i bigger handful than i thought.... oh well

So I found some rotten wires under the dash and looks like they might have been starting to cook alittle.... might have to replace the complete body harness. not a happy camper
