    ...&& she will be my Frankenstein...

    I'm a few days late on posting, but....
    I FINALLY GOT A NEW FESTYYY!!!!!!!!!!!

    On Wednesday I took a drive over to Covington and picked up Andy's silver LX. I've only got shots of it sitting on the trailer so far...







    It's not in quite as good as condition as my '91 L was,



    ..but it'll look great with a little work. Now it's time to start mixing in parts from the L.
    I haven't had much of a chance to start working on her yet, but I did see that the cam sprocket keeper broke off of the cam. Does anyone know if this piece is simply knocked in and can be tapped out and replaced?
    Oh and I'm hoping to do the brake swap down the line. What do you guys think of these rims? They're limited edition 15's off of my Civic



    For now though, I get to put these babies back to use...

                        these cars are way under rated....they hold up/protect you well in an accident. They usually make it through it and still drive. Not that you would want to.

                        You must have missed the vid posted of the guy purposely rolling his and then driving away.

                            are those corvette wheels?
                            it'll do the 1/8 in 13.7, spin tires, and make all my drunk buddies giggle.

                              NO corvettes didn't have a 4 lug pattern IIRC but they look like them. I still like them, as I said before I want them...
