The 1602, because racecar?

[Jamil]

its a fucking beater car for the 24hr of lemons, which means its going to get beat and pushed to hell, wtf do you expect? Honestly, love what your doing with it, keep it up.

please give this car to Heist and good $$ he knows what to do.

but seriously, arent you gonna do a proper body work?

Proper body work will come later I'm taking a welding class this summer and then we'll be fixing the majority of the rust. I know Heist is doing it right! I'm following his thread religiously.

I feel so bad for this car.

Don't it's a beater we got for $250

Thanks, that was kinda the point.

Also we weren't the ones who let it get in this bad of shape. This poor car has had a rough history. It's been completely rewired three times now, been in about 10 accident been left out on the street most of it's life. I feel bad for it but at the same time I don't really care.

As I said I've got new kyb shocks coming as of march 1st.

Seeing pictures like that, is making me sad.

Anyway through some minor inspection and process of elimination I determined the alternator, radiator, and battery are done for. So I'll have new ones coming in soon. I think I'm going to go to a Honda civic radiator from a 98-00. Should ensure reliability and will be cost friendly.

Didn't really get much else done, other than cutting out the rest of the already mostly rusted through spare tire well. I'll be replacing it with some sheet metal soon enough.

Here is a video of the fart can. It really doesn't sound any different than it did. Just a little quieter. Which is very nice.

I'm liking this build!

[jrcanes55]

Well my photobucket bandwidth got maxed out again, (I have a crap ton of threads with pics on BF.c) So I made another account just for this build. Expect a lot of updates in the next few weeks.Reading through NC laws we've found that this car is exempt from safety and emissions inspections and might not even need insurance to get on the road. (we'll be getting that anyway because we're not retards) but we hope to get the title squared away and have it registered tagged and insured within the next month.

ahhh im gonna just have to go ahead and hop on the poor car band wagon..

[JVC]

All these guys talking about "the poor car" and "its a shame" have clearly never undertaken a proper restoration of a car that is beyond fucked. They probably just watch a lot of Overhaulin' and don't realize the time/effort to do it right and make it look good, and in this case its going to be door to door with cars that are equally beat to shit so there's no point in restoring it just to see it get smashed up.

Keep up the good work and I hope to see this thing on a track sooner than later! Have you been keeping track of the overall cost invested in the project?
