It needs alot of things (basically the engine needs to be rebuilt) and I don't really care for it so I don't want to spend time fixing it.

Righty-O! and it's also because I was bored
and it was making noise all over the place that it became annoying.  <---  2000z3ntH p0st!11!1!oneone!1o1ne |

 ...Davis, that car is good practice for you. You should take the engine apart and rebuild it slowly  |

Wow Dorman.... You sure look like you're having a lot of fun in there. Dynomat the whole firewall while you are at it to reduce noise and for when you plan to put a good sound system

Where did you get the dash redone? Or did you just paint it? |

Thanks Guys!
Dash wasn't too hard...getting it back in was actually harder since i was trying to be careful and wasn't just banging on it. I recovered it with some nice vinyl from Joann's Fabrics  See... |

nice! wanna see it in person
edit: he didn't paint it, he re-covered it Mark, found a Japanese foglight from MR2Ben for 15pounds with no harness. Since you don't have fogs, I think you should wait... I'm going to pic up a headlight level adjuster and possibly a rear fog light switch? |

Yeah...I don't know if i'd ever do that again. I think if I'm ever gonna go through that much trouble I'm gonna do it in panels and stitch it together. Stretching and gluing it was a pain. It looks good in person. Not amazing cause I know i could have done better work if I had more time but maybe I'll get ambitious again one day and do it again
