*saved*

If you see that metal strip, that was the driver side a pillar.. clear to see that it was corroded and wrecked due to water leak.

I've also had a leak behind the passenger side seat.

I'll be recarpeting, pulling all the OEM wire harness that I don't need for lights and shit.

I'm debating pulling the heater system. What do you guys think? I could install a small electric hot-rod version.

*Saving this one too*

Also, I will be yanking the motor and fitting a new exhaust manifold, turbo, and exhaust system, engine bay repaint and partial wire tuck.

Debating about dutch boy painting the whole thing since I probably wont have it painted next year either.

Can't! I doubt my landlord would let me haha.. However, long sleeves, stocking cap and a turbo heater should do the trick.

I'd like to.. but I'm not sure I want to tackle the rears on my own. I don't have those kind of skills..
