Default Hatch Update

Ok thought I'd keep you guys that are interested updated. Well yesterday I got the seats and rear suspension on it. I also got dash parts such as the vents, cruise button, and fog light switch(stock one not a stupid toggle switch). The car is coming together nicely and the more work I do to it the more I realize that I got a good deal. Today I put the front suspension on and went and bought a short ram off a dude I know. Through-out the week I am going to be prepping to remove the D from my sedan and put it in the hatch. I am going to do a set of DIY stiff engine mounts with window weld from autozone and maybe sand and primer my engine bay. I also am going to do all the wiring harness stuff during the week.

The car is now in the upright position and atleast looks halfway driveable. I am loving it. Sorry for not posting pics as I told Remmy on aim my camera's A/V port is screwed, I have been having problems with it for the past couple months but I guess it just gave in. It sucks because I love the quality of pics it takes but oh well. I'm gonna have my buddy take a few pics for me in the next week or so so I can post em.

sweet dude. what do you mean prepping to pull the engine? by the looks of your sedan you could probably just slide it right out.

I T-Boned a Lexas ES300 while I was going 50mph. I think it took it pretty well ya know. I have had evil thoughts of slapping a fiberglass front clip on her and stripping everything adding a roll cage, fuel cell, and doing a good 500 to 800hp build for track use only but I am short on room as I allready have 3 cars at the house here.
