I saw one of these with a great body in the junkyard. It saddened me. Yours make me happy once again!

Someone on another forum requested interior shots, here's a cross post of requested pics and info

"Here are some pics of the interior as requested. Sorry about the quality, some of them got kinda washed out. Excuse the mess and the cheap harnesses too (they came with the bar and I'm waiting on some simpson belts). I really need to get in there with some brushes and q-tips and detail everything, the dust in the vents and trim is driving me nuts, also I need a new steering wheel. The GT Grant is starting to show it's age, and since it came on the car I can only assume it's age (looks old as ****).

Changes I've made since owning the car. Installed Gen1 eclipse cloth seats with custom mounts and sliders. POR15 on the floor pan to cover green paint and protect, rear seat "shave" with custom leather covered blank panels, harness bar and harnesses (since care came with no belts and couldn't find replacements), custom single DIN mount and leather covered fascia to allow modern radio (car came w/ 8-track), 6x9's in rear with handmade leather covered parcel shelf, SMLED's installed inside gauge pods to improve back-lighting,and Broadway mirror."

I'm considering selling the car for a new project. Just not sure if I should or would be able to make any money off of it. Any opinions, is there a market/interest in these cars, and what should I ask for it? Any sorta feedback would be appreciated

Fwiw I used Chevy s10 lowering blocks and u bolts to lower my te72. Went with 3" and it was perfect. Fronts I cut 2 or 3 coils. Ride wasn't bad at all but the diff was hitting the floor in the rear on harsh bumps. These cars can be lowered cheap!
That said I love this car. Looks Soooo sick.
I can toss up a pic of my lowered 72 if u want.
Edit here it is anyway.

So good!

I don't see why you would want to sell this beauty, not that you said you are going to anytime soon, but still

Despite the fact that I think this thing deserves some super dope, real vintage wheels (although your reasoning is sound),
I have to admit, it looks fucking awesome.
Lower it more, and you've got a real looker.

Yeah I'd love to put a set of watanabes on it or some SSRs but I can't swing $600 a rim plus tires for a daily at this point in my life. I also have a bad habit of rotating through cars about every six months. Who knows, if I end up keeping this one for a year or so I might look into getting some "legit/dope" wheels. I'd rather invest in custom leafs and front coils at this point....maybe a SBC or SBF in the near future

wow man turned out real nice ! i like it

Thanks, I'm in the process of trying to source some blocks or a shop to dearch my rear leafs and also looking for a set of ae86 front coils to help with the height issue. More to come soon hopefully

Finally got a chance to take some decent pics of the car, excuse the dirt and stuff we've had crappy weather lately and I did these after class tonight so no pre-wash.

Thanks, and sorry no more pics for a few days. Midwest is getting slammed with a blizzard so I'm not venturing out in the slush and salt
