Muttpower's 1992 MX3 GS
Posted: March 29th, 2011, 9:15 pm
Well, I'm finally back from another year-long deployment(to Trash-Can-Istan again, no less), and have decided to completely rebuild my MX-3(yet again). As of now, I'm in the process of stripping the paint down to bare metal(again), and this time actually painting the entire thing with a real paint gun, and not just temporarily using rattle cans. So far I've purchased a new Drift Style front bumper and side skirts, black Halo projectors with the vertical LED's, White fender markers for my Euro fenders, and Z3 style mirrors with built in signal's(yeah, cheap-o egay ones).
So for part one, I plan on completely finishing the outer portion of the car to include paint. After that, once I pick up my ZE from the junkyard, the plan is to pull the stock k8 and repaint the engine compartment and under side of the car. Then after rebuilding the ZE, dropping it in with a Turbo kit. So yeah, I've got a few months of work ahead of me, and hopefully I dont hit any snags this time, like the last 2 builds...I'll post pics of the build as it progresses...
