Hey All, I just recently finished my Sr swap on my 1990 hatch, I was at bings meet but my car remained uninsured and had to stay home. So to those who ive been hanging out with and haven’t seen my car i guess its to prove that it actually exists lol. So here it is in all its glory… picked it up from Hamilton the beginning of November for $2300 with 317k on the clock and a sohc under the hood. The car had been stored for the past 5 years in a barn and just had a small patch of rust on the rocker and a mint interior.

Looks good man, nice clean start to a project. Good call on cleaning up the engine bay before dropping the motor in. That bedliner is gonna prove awesome once the wrenches start flying in there. Congrats on the start of an addiction worse than meth and more expensive than coke. ---
