So I abandoned the Mustang, after the chassis broke in half.
I was looking at the used car dealer, when I found this: It looked fine, and it was about time I got a new daily driver, so I bought it. When I got home, I ordered a new set of wheels. Should arrive in a day or so. Then, I decided to take a look under the hood: Engine was incomplete, but I will remove it later. First, I removed the rusty parts: Then I removed the red parts, and fixed the headlights. It was impossible to repair the taillights though, so I threw them away. Then I removed the engine. The windows were cracked, so I removed them too. I also stripped the interior. I only could restore the passenger seat and the interior panels, and I cleaned the floor mats. Then, I took off the awful steelies, threw them away, and inspected the suspension. Brakes were worn out, and suspension was pretty much collapsed. Trailing arms were awful too, so I just removed everything all together. Then I remembered a local shop, which had some Acura parts on sale. I decided to take my old daily car. I will soon restore it to mint condition, and spend some money on it. While on the highway, this dude on a black two door car challenged me. Long story short, I kicked his ass: Later, he challenged me again. This time, it was a close call. And my grille had fallen. I stopped, went to pick up the fallen grille, and then continued. Finally, I had arrived where I wanted. The said shop: I got some parts, and I even found a spare hood for my Toyota, but it was used... I drove back home. Then, I installed the parts: It was just a front bumper, and a door. I also found a seat, but it was different. Then, I put the used hood on my soon-to be- modified car: Needless to say, he looked much happier now. Then, I hit the highway again, had to go pick up some parts again: I picked up the parts, and went home to install them. It was a suspension kit and a rear bumper. The suspension looked great. Now all I need to do is wait for the wheel parts to arrive. Meanwhile I needed to find a new engine for the car. It was night, and I was sleepy as hell. So I went to a friend of mine, who likes tuning engines. He gave me a K-Series engine block, so I headed home. On the way home, I stopped on a small shop with car parts. I got a new trunk, a new front and rear bumper for the Corolla, and a trunk for the Integra. When I got home, I installed the block on the Integra: And the trunk: And then, I ordered engine parts. Afterwars, I installed the parts on the Corolla: The next morning, I headed to a car repair shop to get my Corolla repaired. While there, I found a handful of parts for my Integra. Then I got home, and I installed them: The car looked much happier now. And the Corolla finally looked like a proper car: I have to finish my Integra, so I can finally begin working on the Corolla. I have ordered a race body kit for it. This post was edited by Facepalm (2014-10-04 16:28, ago) |
