[Scotty41]

I'm fixing rust spots, quarter panel holes, bad paint spots, want it all one color little things i want as well will be done. Engine will also be taken out next week end(hopefully) head needs to be checked first.

Lookin good so far. I'd call a dealer and get new locks for your hatch, doors and ignition switch. I'm waitin on a call for mine.

[Scotty41]

Well i got ignition already just need doors and i talked to a local lock smith and said he could do it all for me to be keyed to ignition for 50 bucks. See how it goes and thanks

no bad bro looks like you have a pretty good start to your build. keep posting pics as you go to keep us updated!!

Undo 2 bolts under the steering column and lower the steering column down.Then that face plate in front of the gauge cluster should come out.

Good luck!

[Scotty41]

Mine is off and Ill never put it back on, took me 2 weeks to get the damn thing off w/o cracking it.

it's not that hard...as someone already said, take the two 12mm bolts out of the upper steering column and it will lower down enough to take it off. If your still having problems, take off the two 12mm nuts closer to the firewall and it will set the steering wheel on the floor. If you can't get it out then....ummm, quit messing with it.

To the OP, if it for some reason doesn't work out with the locksmith, I'm parting out an entire car including the locks.

Otherwise, looks good...any performance plans while you have it torn down?

[Scotty41]

Yea i do have some plans the problem with them is figuring out which to do. I wanna get suspension but not spend 2 much but get something good some k-sport coilovers for 900 i saw or maybe just getting agx's and an inch lower but if i get either will i need camber kit? I havn't looked into that part 2 much.

I would like to see if my engine is good enough but i would like to get pistons and rebuild the head if my block is good enough.

then exhaust, tires will wait till next year to late, and intake. from there im not 2 sure.

I need to find seats and trunk carpet though like any just carpet in ok condition is fine and seats def need. Let me know if you guys know anyone. Thanks

This is what i had to do yesterday.

[Scotty41]

So guys im looking at coils and i need to know which ones are good to get i was looking at stance, ksport, and tien. Let me know what you guys think or if none of those are a good choice.Thanks, Evan

I figured it out but it was still a PITA
