well i got me an 89 lx. i just plan on putting together a fun street car out of this build. i havent got very far into this yet but i figured i would go ahead and show you guys what iv got so far. this is the car when i got it. it had a pretty clean body but after i got it on the lift and up i searched this car for rust and have yet to find a singlr spec.http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff473/heyitsmepugsley/215330_218806824803580_100000227926194_1030740_169 109_n.jpg i have started digging in and as of noe im pretty pleased as even with the block i havent found much flaw at all. of course it is an 89 there are a couple dings that need fixed but nothing major.http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff473/heyitsmepugsley/224386_221711361179793_100000227926194_1057638_820 233_n.jpg this hood will be in the dumpster as soon as i find another one i like i havent decided on cowl or cobra r. but this hood is home made.http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff473/heyitsmepugsley/230758_221711291179800_100000227926194_1057637_575 2688_n.jpg http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff473/heyitsmepugsley/227199_221711181179811_100000227926194_1057636_678 0128_n.jpg i will post more pics as progress goes on. hop you guys enjoy. :bigthumb

well guys this project took a dramatic turn today. i traded the roller for a 79 coupe roller it has way better interior and the body is just as good so i couldnt help myself. i am still running everything the same tho so to me it is still the same project. i will post pics of the car as soon as i can.
