#294141 story first then pics

hey guys. think its time to introduce my new car. picked her up probably 6 months ago for $350 bucks. bought her as a rebuild title ( theft recovery ) she had a popped coloumn broken passenger side b pillar , ripped molding ect. she was a mess. made a list went to the junkyard and $50 in small odds and ends she was looking better.

Also had no sterio no speakers nothing. so i got her 4 -6.5" alpine type S. alpine headunit and an alpine type E 10" sub in the trunk. ( all for 100$ )

was gonna keep her as a daily driver, but then i got a cheap set of skunk 2 coilovers , after that she turned into a project. further to do here are pics

Viper alarm so she wont get stolen again

more to come, waiting for new shoes to come any day now ...... 8)

Whish it was rust free lol. Had surface rust on the fender trunk lid and A pillar. Ground down primed and painted. Have a pretty rust rear wheel well also a smashed in front pass fender. Did a lot of work to make shit less noticable. Rolled alound with primer spots on her for a while, that's how she got the name primey lol.

planning to probably latter on. would be safer. sits close to clutch pedal, just gonna trim her down for now tho.

#296364 well was working on some other stuff on the car aswell as removing my splash sheild and trimming the broken plastic from the bottom bumper that leads into the splash shield ( riding dumped ftl )

then i noticed my master cylinder pushrod was disconected from the clutch pedal. upon further inspection i tried to manual push the the pushrod into the cylinder to get it to pump but it dindt want to push in. it swings around alot which leads me to belive its not connected internaly to the master. should i get a new clutch master or should i try ripping it apart and see where i can re connect it at
:x :x :x
