cleaned her out yesterday and started really looking into the car.

so far i've found:

a custom hacked up harness for the fan and headlights
little spots of natural rust (a first for me) but they don't seem like they're penetrating structural metal yet.
possibly the worst interior i've ever seen (will be sourcing a carpet soon)

removed the door trim yesterday, but haven't attacked the glue. i think i'm just gonna leave it until i start sanding for paint.

and i'm brainstorming some stickers...we'll see how it turns out

[jdm babaganoosh]

oh and for lulz we tried to mount up some 17" wheels.

not gonna happen :laughing5:

[jdm babaganoosh]

After some research, gonna do the round headlight conversion with these bulbs:

I've been trying to keep the new idea under wraps, but i can't keep it secret anymore.

[MTec007]

bench seats are not the way to go but i guess to each his own

dang, not the first one to think of it

oh well, i figured i'd source a set of old mini truck vinyl or tweed bench seats

[gestiva]

besides not having a ebrake(unless u make some sort of adapter)
i liked having a bench seat.
i say do it,
maybe a lil toyota one, they had the notch for the shifter in the middle.

stain the seats so it matches the hood. make the whole thing look beat. And I would def get chrome wheels for it, at least spraypaint chrome and then treat them so that they look corroded and pitted.

[Damkid]

That bench seat looks pretty good in there, i personally wouldn't want it but it sure looks good there!!

i just now clicked the little pic to see it big. That looks comfy. I would call it the Lazyboystiva.

[jdm babaganoosh]
