i picked this lil guy up for $400 and drove it home its hella rusty but prob one of my favorite cars, its my beater play toy for now but is currently down right now to rebuild all the front end stuff.

when i bought it. it wasn't to pretty or appealing and it had a huge dent down the drivers side where some one backed down it. but a plus is it had newer recovered seats in it.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

yea there was alot of wires laying everywhere i when pulled some romex out from under the dash and a drop cord that some one had used for wire...

Image

Image

it got all the green blasted off then primer gray and what ever other color i and my friends sprayed on it. it also got bassetts slapped on the rear. yea the arches are hacked out of it but soon they will be getting rabbit arches welded on.

Image

Image

and some how my car got crabs... that like to jack off and wave..

Image

touch screen/dvd radio in, and replaced cig lighter that was just a hole when i got it.

Image

Image

also stuck some cheap speakers in.

Image


then i burnt the shit out of 2 or 3 valves so i swapped in an a14.

Image

Image

engine coming out.

Image

Image

a14 in

Image

ghetto block off plates and engine mounts made from mondo, because cheap and not a fuck was given lol.

Image

battery being relocated to trunk.

Image

then all new brakes, rotors bearings and such.

Image

Image

got kinda bored with the interior or lack there of haha all it has is dash and 2 front seats now, so i started adding some odd stuff to it.
leg bone shifter.

Image

Image

Image

i got tired of seeing the hole for the choke pull that i didnt have anymore so i got out the dremel and made this to cover it..

i cover the glove box lid to it was starting to crack and look all odd.

Image

Image

Image

Image

i put this on the passengers side door to where it can be seen while looking in the drivers side, for when i get pulled over and the cap asks if i know why he pulled me over its there.. its quite funny seeing there face! :troll:

Image

scored this crackless dash with guages and harness for $40.

Image

also put in a center console from a nissan pulsar it fit nicely but i cant find the pics any where. ut the res of the pics are just gonna be random pics of it lol.
and it got chessy angry eyes too.. but they look cool at night tho.

Image

Image

Image

and now the random dump of pics.

found some pics of the pulsar console in the car. shifter and ebrake line up like they should and t sits back far enough from the heater vent to let heat pass by but that is the one down side the small gap at the front its not o bad tho. i need to find the factory rubber boot to cover the shifter hole.

Image

Image

Image

after looking thru the pic i remembered i blew a head gasket awhile ago, i had to drive it about 50 miles with no water in it motor ran like a champ to and no damage i got the head shaved just in case of warpage. i was out on back roads with no phone, but it now runs as strong as ever.

engine out
Image

head shaved

Image

cleaned the engine up while it was out

Image

Image

Image

Image

my friend was taking metal working in college and made me this tag.

Image

the random hello kittty sticker that i found on it randomly so i drew it x eyes.

Image

and the 1200 doing what it does best.... shenanigans.

Image

Image

Image

Image

it mostly gets used like a 4wd and as a dirt road warrior.

I have two bassetts for the front but the hit the frame when turning and the footwell. I need to get some spacers and tires with a shorter sidewall.

besides the manifold. is there anything else you have to do? or will these just work by hooking them up and tuning them and they work like normal carbs?
