History:
I bought this car for $100 buck with a clean tittle. It was not running, had some rust all over especially the rear quarter panels. I have it tow home and first thing was getting this thing up and running. Pulled the stock F22 out and found out the problem... yes indeed it has a few missing parts that would prevent it from starting. Rather than getting the stock F22 running I know I need more power so the F22 was swap out for the lower mileage JDM H22a... and better LSD T2T4 tranny.
Next was putting this thing on the road.... it rides funny for a 20 yr old car as the shocks seem to be blown. I order a set of Functions and forms type 1 lower it a bit and hey it dont look too bad..... well...beside the rust. If you guys know me, I hate rusty cars especially one that I would use as my daily driver.
So here comes the plan: I was going to cut the rusty quarter panels patch the new panels in and respray it. But as I work more and more into the restoration I feel more attached to this project. I found myself asking this question... I will do it right or dont do it at all. Being the bodyman that I am I know a few thing or two about body and paint. So I decided to restore the whole car.... by replacing the rusty hood, driver door, driver side fender for another oem non rusty piece.
Also I removed alot of random rust around the car if you guys know anything about Minnesota is that we salt our roads on the snowee-winter to melts the snow and ice. Salt and moisture really hurt our Minnesotan cars but like I say anything is repairable with the right amount of money or in my case enough body and paint knowledge.
I finish the exterior restoration project and all done within few weeks, I spend about 2 hours each day on the week and 3-4 hrs on the weekend.
Oh yea I should point out that I did the body and paint right in my own garage at home. All rust removal was done by myself by using metal patching... the right way of fixing rust. Overall the total expenses I spend on car which includes the car, wheels, tires, motor, tranny, suspension, body and paint.. all for about $2,500.00 or less.
BTW Thanks for reading and sorry for the nasty grammar because english is my 2nd language.
Enjoy these pics:
Order a set of 1/4 patch panels for both sides.
Test fitting.....
cutting it out and welding in the new metal panels.....
some bodywork and sanding.....
Repairing both bumpers... yes too many battle scars at the local grocery!!
Preping the whole car before paint.... bottom pic.
All painted...by me. Yes I painted it myself.
