well i thought it was about time for me to build something. i came across a 92 teal vx hatchy for 300 bucks. the kid said it just quit running one day and wanted it out of his front yard. after about 3 weeks of playing phone tag and other bullshit i finally picked the car up. it def. has that 300$ car smell but the body wasnt horrible and it had inspection and stuff so i figured id get it. i took it home and got to work on the mess of riced out shit and food that was all over the place. the first day i spent the majority of it cleaning it out, killing the ant farm that was inside, finding 3 bucks in change, seeing some of the most spiders in one place in my life and trying to figure out how to get the blue paint off the interior panels. its ls turbo now and running but im still waiting on suspension, wheels/tires and brakes before its on the road for spring. ![http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/3134/im0012858lt.jpg](http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/3134/im0012858lt.jpg) ![http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/5280/im0012861np.jpg](http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/5280/im0012861np.jpg) ![http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/1345/im0012894we.jpg](http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/1345/im0012894we.jpg) ![http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/4467/im0012922mf.jpg](http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/4467/im0012922mf.jpg) ![http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/7370/im0012985pc.jpg](http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/7370/im0012985pc.jpg) ![http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/7947/im0012996lp.jpg](http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/7947/im0012996lp.jpg) ![http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/6070/im0013162yz.jpg](http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/6070/im0013162yz.jpg) ![http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/1750/im0013543xb.jpg](http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/1750/im0013543xb.jpg) ![http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/6300/im0014490xz.jpg](http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/6300/im0014490xz.jpg) ![http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/5028/im0014504vd.jpg](http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/5028/im0014504vd.jpg) thats how it sits now only now its got a slim fan, and a new style ls valve cover, and the bumper is back on. i gotta get some new pics up. here is what it looked like to start with ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7994/im0012543kk.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7994/im0012543kk.jpg) ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/937/im0012552le.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/937/im0012552le.jpg) ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7243/im0012560co.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7243/im0012560co.jpg) ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/1184/im0012573dd.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/1184/im0012573dd.jpg) ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5050/im0012586yn.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5050/im0012586yn.jpg) ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/814/im0012591ti.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/814/im0012591ti.jpg) ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/3239/im0012602ry.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/3239/im0012602ry.jpg) yea its a ractive… ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7433/im0012622da.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7433/im0012622da.jpg) ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/4384/im0012630wu.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/4384/im0012630wu.jpg) ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/1769/im0012644mv.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/1769/im0012644mv.jpg) ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/746/im0012666jf.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/746/im0012666jf.jpg) damn my man must have been sponsored by ractive ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/1631/im0012687vw.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/1631/im0012687vw.jpg) ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/3036/im0012694xx.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/3036/im0012694xx.jpg) ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/6606/im0012704cy.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/6606/im0012704cy.jpg) just gettin broken in… ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/8144/im0012721zj.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/8144/im0012721zj.jpg) the clean up ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/6599/im0012738hy.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/6599/im0012738hy.jpg) ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/539/im0012743dy.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/539/im0012743dy.jpg) ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5729/im0012750ya.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5729/im0012750ya.jpg) ![http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/484/im0012780ze.jpg](http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/484/im0012780ze.jpg) ---
