  • Started upgrading

    Well I have finally started working on my LX that I have been buying parts for! It is a one owner 80,000mi rust free car! So far I have put a Kia Pride grill and lights with smooth clear corners. Some Euro taillights, and clear turn signals. 90 LX mirrors and headrests. Chrome factory alloys (just did all wheel bearings) Added a GTX hood (steel!). Also added variable wipers, Alpine CD player. The car has almost every LX option already including underseat tray! I am planning a 5 speed swap adding power steering and A/C. Along with a funtop, factory mudflaps, floormats, cruise control. Cable release gas door and hatch lock. I am sure I am forgeting something, I will continue to update this thread as I build the car. A paint job is in the future too.

        I would be very interested in seeing how you do the cable gas door release!
        If it has boobs or wheels, sooner or later you're going to have trouble with it.

                  how did you score the steel GTX hood??

                  1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
                  1988 323 GT - B6T Powered

                  If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?
