heres some of the latest pics. i have the trunk lid sanded and back on right now. the ground effects are getting sanded right now. some pics of my y pipe installed and if you look at one of them close enough you will see my trans mount it missing a bolt and the plate going across the top...isn't going across the top. I took off the convertible top and fixed a few loose brackets, holes, sound deadened all the rattling plastic parts, and am trying to find some plastic to replace the rear window.
The interior is a mess but idc right now. haha can you see my NOS bottle?
Last but not least...the cavalier (DD) R.I.P. Notice the passenger air bag cover thing busted the windshield.

a few more i just took like 3 minutes ago. my trunk latch/bracket thingy i repainted it black and it looks really nice. the rest of the pics are the top and the gfx started to get sanded.

not bad, I hope you marked the alignment of the top before removing it otherwise reinstall is a *****

that will keep you busy! looks like a big fun project

blue89vert 10-29-2006 03:20 PM

yea i got all the little spacers and everything marked where they were supposed to go.
yep its a BIG project but it is fun. I just wish i had a bigger air compressor than my 25 gallon or w/e b/c it doesn't hold much air and has to fill back up when im using my DA like every 5 minutes.

archemedes 10-29-2006 04:40 PM

get an extra air tank (they are pretty cheap) otherwise you'll kill the compressor (da's use more air than almost any tool)

blue89vert 10-29-2006 07:11 PM

how do i just get an extra tank?
can i just connect the two tanks together or something?
can i even buy just a tank?
why does no one else respond to my threads?
lol

archemedes 10-29-2006 11:53 PM

go to wal mart and buy an air tank (used for inflating balls and stuff) then just connect it inline

sweet dude. lots of work, but looks fun and should be worth it in the end.

Seems to be going good so far!! Update us with more pics some time :)

I wish i had a garage to do stuff like that in....

blue89vert 10-30-2006 10:13 PM

yea its really nice having a garage. that is actually my aunts garage where i am keeping my car. we ran out of room at my house having 6 other cars. lol. i get over there to work on it as much as i can but sometimes i can't always when i want to. thats the only disadvantege (sp?) for me.

Very nice job....Its starting to look like my vert. I cant wait till the verts are done. Keep up the good work.

blue89vert 10-31-2006 11:34 AM

haha yeah, but my car is still driveable for the most part... i took my friend for a ride the other night. first time i drove it with open headers.... its got a lot more power than before. i couldn't hook up from a complete stop and i had smoke shows around every corner. lotsa fun.

ITSA6 11-01-2006 12:00 AM

so what happened to the cavy?

blue89vert 11-01-2006 06:55 AM

my mom was driving and she was like just starting to get into the intersection and some old man decided to try to make a left turn....right in front of her. yea the rest is self explanatory.
