"Old Red" Update Thread #1

[Festiva_Fred]

Here are some pictures of my progress on Old Red
Stripped most of the interior



Cleaning the spare tire






Seats- I'm pretty sure the one on the left is a seat out of a LX right?

I may be getting a full set of matching seats like that one, out of the car that that seat was taken from

Caught my little helper sleeping on the job :p


Here are some things I need to correct/fix on the car (i'll let the pics do the talking)



I'll replace most of this trim




Rust Repair


Built back up with fiberglass

After filled in (i'm not completely done yet)





Engine work

Old vs. New air filter


New fuel filter


Old plugs



After changing the oil and filter, draining the old gas and putting fresh in, and replacing those parts it is running ALOT better now! The car had sat since 2004 before I bought it! It starts right up and runs pretty good for having 211,000 miles on it

Looking good you can pressure wash the carpet. You'd be amazed at how much crap you can get out of the carpet. Plus it will smell so much better.

He already promised me the under seat tray for $5. Ive never seen a cat sleep with its eyes open before.

Looks better and better!

Only thing left to do now is Seafoam it...

Yes If there is a underseat tray, I already made a deal with Freshtiva, and the cat was asleep right before I took that picture.

Lookin good!!!
I'll vouch for the seafoam as well; give it a shot, you will be happy!
You can get it at northern tool for around $5 a can, as apposed to the $9 at most auto stores.

Keep up the good work!
