OK, quit bugging me dammit!

Pics of the "new" 'vert... She's a '92, that had seen better days...

170K miles, 5-speed conversion, interior demolished, bad top, lame wheels, dead tires, cut springs, fartcan muffler attached with clamps, melted rear bumper, goofy seat covers, goofy steering wheel, goofy shift knob, and some miserably ill-advised wiring modifications for God-knows-what-reason...

The good news? Came with a 68K mile S14 KA on a stand, and it was cheap.

Tried to get some pics before we started gutting it, but camera was on the fritz...

Here's the carnage:

I'll keep everyone updated, my son Hunter and I (and our little guy, Darian) have been busting our butts, gutting, disassembling, cleaning and replacing... Should be a fun little car when done.

Well it's about time you posted the pics

Red verts FTW!!! Looks like a lot of work needs to be done but it's a nice project car you got there.

If it didn't come with another KA, I would have suggested an LS1 be dropped into it...something sorta different ya know?

Are we gonna be seeing a dual trip BRM exhaust and a rollcage from FRSport?

[Dano]

HELL YEAH! That's great to see Hunter getting into the mix! Dar was always there to lend a helping hand, or advice, or the friendly "Hondas SUCK" comment.

[QUOTE=AZhitman], goofy steering wheel,

hey thats the same steering wheel i just got ....hey if you dont need the hub and install kit from that wheel i would be more than happy to buy that from you hey what can i say im into goofy steering wheels i can trade my stock steering wheel for it too!!

[AZhitman]

slip - As soon as I pull it off, you're on. Deal.

We had considered an RB swap, but I really want to get atarted on my Roadsters, so this one's gonna stay pretty stock.

[slip69]

nice..thanks!!!if i could get you to save me those screws or bolts that are on the steering wheel too. the onesin front next to the horn button thanks again

Is this car going to be for your son? If so its cool all of you guys are working on it together and I imagine the turn out will be a very clean vert.

[AZhitman]

Yep - This will be Hunter's ride (NICO II)....

Gotta get the grades up.

[RedEvilRPS13]

if it was a different red, i'd agree, but aztec red has got to be the ugliest red ive seen, thats why my hatch ended up flat black and my vert is gonna end up viper red.

that being said, i commend you for repainting it to factory, its rare to see a fresh coat of aztec red on a 14 year old car...

[AZhitman]

Well, I'll actually probably select something with a little less yellow in it... Maybe Guards Red.

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

How about...Nico Red?

[koukicody]

I'm lovin the old school wheel used as a hose roll-up.

[slip69]

same here , my vert is going to my son this year but only if he can get his grades up. im actually going to show him how to change the oil this weekend. damm kids..they grow up so quick!!!!and eat all the food in the house too!!!

Fresh Aztec looks pretty decent. When it gets old, it starts looking boring because red fades quickly.

[big_sigh]man... i'd take sand and dust and dirt over rust anyday[/big_sigh]
