figured i would try n upload some photos i know she's rough...but thatll change in time and ill try and get some pics of the SOHC 4-cyl soon. Maybe a before and after of the cleaning. We all know she needs it. $450 invested so far.

looks ilke youve got your work cut out for you, but the price was right

Passion air freshener = 15 more HP.

Do I see pink drum brakes? Awesome.

Also dig the stripes!

thanks for the support guys, i know this one is gonna be a doooozieee. I just washed it for the first time it seems like in years. Clearly a chick owned it before me but i think i like the pink calipers...atleast for now lol. Bad thing about washing it...i realized how much work i really have cut out. This body has seen better days thats for sure, but ill keep yall posted (no pun intended) lol

Pretty good deal for 450 bucks

thanks...i actually paid 350 for it but after i got it titled n tagged plus 8 bucks for the degreaser i bought....put me at about 450 lol. I like to believe thats what people call a "steal"

Nice project you got there! Are those Virginia plates i see =o

yes...and if you know anyone in VA pleeeeeaaasssseeeeee point em out. Lookin to check out some other mx3's locally love to see what the local guys are doing

I see a few here and there but your the only other member I have seen lol. I'm about a hour and a half from VA beach

im in Newport News on the other side of the james river. Hey not too far of a drive for me...soon as i can get her more reliable

So of course part of the $50 paint job that was administered by the previous owner was overspray.....lots and lots of overspray....EVERYWHERE sooo i decided to grab a razor and take to the mirrors and glass, just a snippet of what i did.
Before:



aaannnnddddd After:



soo atleast the mirror itself is cleaner now...as well as the rest of the glass on the car....now i need to work on getting the paint off of the rubber seals n such...they might just get replaced

Her she looks after her first bath....dam look at the body. A ding or dent in every panel.

I was wondering what my car would look like with strips and now i know lol. If your looking for something to help take the paint off the seals and such i bought a product called Krud Kutter its for removing spray paint from walls.

Comes in a spray bottle and you can spray it on a rag and wipe down the seals, its not as harsh as some products. I used it with good results. Can find it at your local Wal-Mart near the paint removers.
Hope it helps .

Tune-up time!
