'88 LX hatch. Pix are from last summer when we bought it. Not much has changed since then really. Started out to "just throw a clutch in it". You know how that goes!! After 22 years, 84K miles, and sitting somewhere for a very long time, every nut and bolt was a battle. It was good training for the kid!!

No engine stuff planned. '97 Cobra brakes, (AND 17" wheels! Those 10-holes gotta GO!) 3.73 gear, a few suspension upgrades... The kid can learn to drive in something with some style!!

Do you have the green SN-95 behind your house too? I was up watching my cousin play flag football today and seen it behind a big blue house.

It's really solid. Torque boxes are factory fresh. Seat pans are clean. Firewall is clean. It's a little rusty where the shock towers join the frame rails. Next time the engine is out, that will have to be fixed.

Did those rings work out OK for you??
 
sweet project......but i gotta say that i like the 10 holes, they're "period correct"......but then again, i'm old-fashioned.....
 
The guy we bought the car off of liked them for the same reason. They look fine with a 10.5 sticky wrapped around them and some skinnys up front. Just not the look I'm after.

I'll have 4 real nice ones for sale in a couple months...
