I picked up this dar gray hatch for around $1600. It is in terrible shape, but is a strong running car and just needs some love... a lot of love.
It is a 1991 and a few dents here and there. However, it is now mine and I am Going to try and fix it.
This is the night i got it.ImageImage

On Christmas I saw this on my drive home from my grandpa's. I didn't want to keep going but I was not driving.

As soon as I got together what i felt was a good amount I went back and approached the place. No one was home and I was just about to leave, but I turned around and there was franklin, owner of the silver hatch.
This is how I found the hatch.

I guess that would all count up to prelude.
Today was the first day I got a chance to work on the cars.
Thanks to my friend kevin for letting me use his garage to both store the parts car and work on them without worry of theft.

Got a bit out and vacuumed and wiped a bit. Since the parts car is completely untouched other than missing its motor. I am going much slower and more delicately with it. documenting what I can to remember how to properly assemble my other.

I plan on literally picking the best parts out of both cars and fixing whats left. nothing crazy with this one. just a car that almost always starts.
