There are some guys over there that know anything and everything you need to about the technical stuff on these cars.

Got a little bit more done today. Met up with my friend Derek who is the main sales guy at AccuAir Suspension, and we talked air suspension on the 2002 for a bit. I have a pretty good idea now of what setup I will be running, but it's going to be a little bit before everything gets ordered. I basically need to find the wheel setup that I will be running and base everything off them.
Brought it back up to my Dad's house and continued on the dismantling process. I got the whole front end taken apart today. Both the front fenders were welded onto the body in one spot which was kind of stupid. As usual, bondo everywhere, it almost seems as if the entire body has a layer of bondo. Kind of a bummer, but oh well, fuck it! Sorry if some photo's seem unnecessary, I'm just trying to document the build as good as possible
rear driver's side
rear passenger's side
front driver's side
front passenger's side
dirty
OEM hubcaps in good shape, wonder if they're worth anything?
front fender welded in above the headlight. You can see on the bottom of the headlight where it separates. Stupid idea in my opinion, just had to get the ol' grinder out. You can see how much bondo there is:
Inner fender, barely any rust!
Passenger fender, ready to be cut
cut
that's it for today. Going back tomorrow morning to start pressure washing everything and taking more stuff apart. Havin' fun!

haha yeah, I really hope people (and Heist himself) aren't thinking that I'm just duplicating his build. I will admit that it is definitely similar in some ways as the main focus on the build is revolved around stance, however, in the end, they will end up two completely different cars. I've been wanting to do a 2002 build for over a year now, and Heist's thread caught my attention because he was doing a lot of the stuff that I would want to do. So I hope there are no hard feelings, at the end of the day it is just a car on the internet. And I hope people can still enjoy this thread and realize that I have my own vision for this car and I'm building it how I've always dreamed of building one.
Other than that, thanks for all the nice comments.
