Some of you may know me from my other build....which is at a standstill due to me not being able to decide on parts.

Decided instead of buying everything I would need to finish the bmw over the winter....I would start looking for another car. Ended up looking at a TDI which would have been a great swap canidate for another car, but not worth what the guy was asking. I hit him real low on price and walked away. Ended up driving around with my friend all day waiting to see another car. Quick look, drive, and we hit the notary. Grabbed all the parts for it at his house and headed home.

Its a 94, was originally auto and was swapped before the po. Also had a set of vmax coils, porsche 7 slots, ebay turbo and manifold, 3 fenders, 2 extra bumpers, golf hood, and a set of bbs ra?
Took it out for taco bell the first night with the lady.

Whatever headunit came in the car was a joke, so the next day off to best buy I went. Some kinda pioneer and some speakers and good to go. Drivers door was never even plugged in. Also threw in my sub that I have had in a few cars. Its a constant battle with adjusting it so it might go soon enough.

I knew it was a little rusty here and there, same usual spots that these always have. Driver and passenger floor, and a little rocker rust on the driver side. Decided to tackle the drivers side first. Always amazing how much the undercoating really hides on these things.

Cut it out, spot welded the patch, and seam sealed inside and outside. Wasnt too bad.

I finished up the passenger side as well, didnt need as much but didnt really take any pictures. Also will get around to the driver rocker eventually.
