Many of you know I picked up a new car a couple weeks back...

1989 plymouth colt... no rust, decent condition needs lots of work...

Here is when I purchased the car. I drove all the way to colorado to pick it up.

No interior when the car was purchased...

Miles UNKNOWN... car fax reported in 1999 that there were 148,000 on the car then... been a couple years since hahaha...

The plans for the car... To haul ass!!! with a nice interior.




Engine bay pretty clean.




car was broken into before my ownership... wheres the lock???


Here is a pic of the interior upon purchasing the car.



More of the interior. and the girlfriend.



Taken when I got home after a bath.



The beast.

YEH HEEEE HAAAA You go get um. I little work, few parts and some paint and your there man! Don't get to discouraged and don't let a bunch of lame know a lot of nothing people talk you in to changing your mind. I cant wait to see it when your done. And BTW nice girlfriend I am sure she will help also.

More pics of the girlfriend please, KTHXBYE.

J/K, nice little project you've got there. Should be quite a beast.

I would have made her drive too... did you see what i made my GF do to the colt.





There is another of her cleaning a dirty ass hood. cant find it though.


Car looks good. have fun with it!

lol Now that's what I'm talking about... have her do the dirty work. lol

Congrats on the colt! And as far as girlfriends go, mine hangs out in the garage with us BUTT she just gets in the way. Obviously no pun intended.

Alright here's an update of this weekend... worked friday from 10PM to 3AM... Saturday from 12pm to about 11pm and sunday 10am to 11pm.

The work we accomplished...

Replaced Steering colum with new colum.

Replaced all the locks in the car because they were froze up and not working well.

The hatch latch was broken so the hole assembly was replaced.

The drivers side axle seal broke and leaked 2 quarts of oil on the way to the shop so that was replaced

the car wasnt heating up very well so I replaced the thermostat with the already brand new turbo radiator.

As you can see from the previous pictures there was no interior in the car.

I pulled the interior out of my donor car that I have which was extremely dirty and made my girlfriend clean it. shes good for something after all.

pictures of said girlfriend




Interior before.


Old steering column just dropped.


How i have been driving the car.


And another


new steering column in place.


new trunk assembly...


The previous door was broken into ( look back to the older pictures) and was egg'd out really bad, the person who broke into the car demolished it. The door was flattened out and a new lock was installed... not pefect yet, but will be fixed when bodywork and paint is done.



dash being dye'd


dash being dye'd part II


buddy working on the drivers side door locks.


Drivers side door lock assembly complete.


original door panel was a nasty all maroon... why not throw some black in there??? I'm thinkin that looks sexy right there.


Drivers side axle seal just complete.


dash and all the other parts installed after being dye'd..


My girlfriend cleaning the seats.


Finished product after being cleaned.


carpet cleaned... and installed... finally coming together...


maroon installed in the rear.



Done...

more pictures to come...

Just like my first two cars with the maroon interior! Good job on the effort as it is paying off. Nothing like building your own car.

thats teh truth... like many of you have seen I had a 460 WHP talon when I was 17...

I would like to see this one put down close to 500 but weighing 1200LBS less.
