No, the hood with flames does not belong on this car. It goes on a metro lol. So, all I lack is reinstalling the booster delete, relocating battery, new exhaust, and hooking up a/c and cruise.
Bad news though :'( I need to put a new core support in. Fortunately I have one from a sedan parts car. Gonna cut everything from the seam along the shock towers forward and weld it in sometime soon. Hopefully I wont have to undo the motor mounts. No biggie if I do. Pink obd1 valve cover is being traded for a white obd2 one. Im also looking for an obd2 IM so I can clean up some more of the vacuum line mess. Shes looking waaay clean in person. I am pretty effing stoked. Any thoughts or ideas?

She lives!!! After troubleshooting a 16 code, she runs like a top. Idle fluctuation is kinda gnarly, but only once the car warms up. Gonna go through the whole vacuum system, iacv/fitv, and when I get an obd2 intake mani, I will replace the gasket for it and the tb. The brakes are ****. Firm pedal but no stop. CEL came on after hard braling (non abs car) so I have more codes to pull. Wondering if there's a vacuum leak that's causing the brake issue AND the idle surge. Oh well, the fun in owning a piece of **** car is making it awesome. Just gonna take a little time and maybe a little cash. After all that is sorted out, time for blower motor and heater troubleshooting. Then interior tlc, audio, and a special urban camo rattle can special from the a-pillars forward to hold me over until championship white time next spring. I will post pics maybe this evening. I'm pretty worn out.

Teaser pic edit, hope she is found acceptable. I will cut myself if ya'll no likey...

Looking good. I think I have a similar issue with my brakes and idle. If you figure it out post here!

Your heater core only popped not because it is common on DA's, it is because you are on G2IC. So stop.

Well, I'd suggest if you plan on doing any kind of aggresive driving with this car, to fix that suspension ASAP (if you havn't done so already).

Looks like no-name coilovers on stock shocks.

This is what happens when you do that..


Granted since your perch's are all the way down, that's probably helping support the sleeve. Still wouldn't trust it though.

And stock shocks being that low with unknown springs or spring rates does not exactly fit the whole fuction>form deal lol.
