gotta replace exaust asap! it did sit like 2 inches from the ground till i hit it on a speedbump and pushed it up in there....also caused the exaust leak to get worse..


some interior shots, guess what two common things with s chassis's are missing from
d/s carpet win a free uncracked oem coolant resoviour (pick up only)

Image

can see the pioneers i installed outa the other 90's shell (thanks for leaving em brad i would be going nuts without em)

Image

da money shot,you get one guess on each thing (ones missing/the others not normal wear) make em count first one right gets it.

Underhood shots

Image

one poor excuse of an intake first thing to go

Image

oem intake pipe in place (thanks dj and tyler for the freebie)
can also spot that small white thing where spark plug wire goes on #1 ,new ngk r's,and replaced fuel filter yesterday.

Image

new alternator installed this morning in rain :(

Custom overflow fabed by mike bell, good friends dads

took this while i hade enough lighting...fits good on the passenger side just gonna take a lil bit more work on the drivers side the stock fender was mangled pretty badly on the bottom.


Image
blinkers sitting in the bottom of lip Ziptied on of course :D

I had no tools for body part placement cept zipties and a socket set and wrenches so id say it went okay cant wait to properly put it on honestly

Almost ran over that bumper trying to get in a friends driveway...its now being stored at his house. He is handy with fiberglass and is going to refix where the bumper where it is messed up,it only cracked because of s*** repair work,ait b-magic makes a strong kit well worth the extra $$$ for the qaulity and fitment

mhhhm think its a one off he'd be pissed if he knew i had it now lol. i asked him back in the day he told me 200$ his son gave it to me for w/e reason,probaly cuz he stole countless parts off my first s-chassis and felt bad.
Im trying its still pretty rough tho. I still have to put front and rear swaybars on the car(both were missing) find my exhaust leak,and figure out the miss.
On the miss i know for a fact the timing is 180 degrees out,if not a lil more (look at the sparkplug wires they are backwards) and im thinking the exaust leak might have the o2 sensor reading wrong and actually be causing the miss ( i need comfirmation on this im not really sure) (kid also had the timing advanced so far the car wouldnt idle under 1000 rpms and stank like straight gas when i drove it fixed that when i changed spark plugs and left it 180' out)
