Different View plus inside, seats and carpet are in excellent condition, dash needs work i stated taking it apart when i left, trying to fix the head light and gauges issue, they dont work, everything else does though, im thinking it the fuse box underneath, i really want to modernize it

Took this shyte out it was heavy as hell, the amp is hifonics, im not into beat in the trunk, i do like music sound but rather have it inside the car then beating all loud in the back, plus where ima put my spare at LOL, sound luxury is the last thing on my mind right now

problem: i might have a flat lobe or rocker arm issue i cant tell, there is no metal shavings in my oil, so its confsing me, and if the guy was telling me the truth about the engine being rebuilt etc, hopefully its the rocker arms, anyway im taking all that out and upgrading the heads, cams, arms if thats the case

more to come, ill keep this as my build thread i guess

Looks like a potentially nice car there. $200. @ to align your doors? That sounds kinda steep to me. Is he going to rebuild your hinges for that money? He should...or do it yourself. It's not rocket science, just takes patience. Unless of course you have time constraints. Get other quotes as well.
I would think $400. could go a long way, and could take care of other issues on the car.

Good luck! I'm sure it will be a cool ride when you're done. 8)
