**GotF2TinGD** · 1-13-07, 23:57

no pictures for 2yrs looks promising.

**pearsonmx6** · 1-14-07, 9:04

i would like to see some or did he sell the car

**hughes46** · 1-14-07, 11:30

I have not updated the EXTERIOR pics because that hasn't changed - it is done with the exception of a couple of small black emblems. As for the interior, that, I am working on and should be done with that this spring.

**hughes46** · 1-14-07, 11:39

I tend to be extremely picky about the way things get finished up AND if I get done with something and don't quite like the way it turned out, I'll rip it all apart and start over again. That is the way I am with this car. I have SO much time and money in it that I may as well take my time and do it exactly the way I want it. For example, I didn't like the center vent cable on the 93's, so I installed a complete heater box setup from a 97, relocated the heater controls and fabbed up a remote opening lid for where the pass. side airbag would be if the car were a 94 or newer (it is a 93). Of course the mock up is on a spare dash and I am doing the real one on a black dash. This however might be all for nothing if I can get my hands on a complete rhd setup which is what I am working on at the moment.

airbag?

anyway, if you're going to put a bit of effort into the interior... how bout a climate control unit? i had one in my mx6, and it looks SO MUCH better than the povvo slider aircon.

**hughes46** · 8-7-07, 9:39

Updated the pics.....

**ragincanadian4** · 8-7-07, 10:06

Wow, I just had a cargasm.

**Nealio** · 8-7-07, 10:35

Wow, she's a Beauty.

**metros** · 8-7-07, 11:09

Decided not to sell?

**hughes46** · 8-16-07, 22:11

She's still for sale, but that doesn't mean I don't want to show her off..... My biggest problem is my two year old. I caught him writing on my wife's prius with blue chalk and I walked into the garage the other morning and my motorcycle tire and seat were blue chalk as well. The bike has a custom paint job on it as well and luckily he decided not to mess with the paint. If the car is at my house, it is only a matter of time until something bad happens to it....
Don't misunderstand me, my youngest son is a joy and a blessing, but he is spirited as well and loves to push his boundaries so I would rather get the car to a good home (it's just a car and I can always build another) than get ticked off at a wonderful kid that is
just growing up and doing things that kids do.
