    Ah-ha! So you were hiding the bad spots in the first set of pics.
    Still, fairly solid. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one.

    More pics of the car.




    The bad spots..









    And the parts car that will help bring this one back to shape body-wise..

    I had planned on making that car into a auto-x car but decided it would be best to cut back to 2 festivas (93 and the 89). That way I can take some time building this one to make it how I want to now that I have one to drive everyday.

    I know that I wanted that torque converter that you have, any other parts you have?

    1989 L Revistited- Build Thread

    As some of you guys may remember I had been working on this car before a while back, but then I built the green car instead. Now that the green one is done and on the road, this car is my next project. It's a 89' L ATX, I plan on doing a engine swap on the car, and I might also convert it over to MTX while it's all apart. Haven't decided on which engine I would go with yet, but most likely a B6-E.

    Pic of the car.


    Today I stripped the whole interior except for the dash.


    On the drivers side of the floor the previous owner spilled oil or something on the carpet, and it soaked through the carpet and into the insulation/coating on the floorboards. Most of the coating on the areas where it was spilled was turned into a nasty goo. I scraped all that crap off today. The floor boards are nice and solid, no rustholes only rust I found was minor surface rust in a few spots.

    Pics of the nasty goo..




    And shots of the floorboards after scraping the loose stuff off, still need to vaccum the floorboards.









    This is just a project to work on during my free time, don't really have a deadline but hopefully it'll be done around summer time.
Working...
