600 dollar mark

Well last month I bought a mark for 600 dollars needed a lot of work...car was slammed and looked like a monkey owned it... the white interior was covered in grease and sticky food. Ive cleaned it up and took some pics put some Tokico lowering springs and shocks on it and buffed it.

I am looking for some parts tho. I need LSC grille and door moldings in the same color(paint code HA). Also need a passenger door but I doubt ill find that anywhere near me. and dont want to pay shipping. Trying to keep this car cheap and as a good driver.

Oh yeah I know the back wheels are on backwards... was gonna swap them but then saw the tires are directional...

This car has its fair amount of rust... its all isolated to the bottom of the doors tho. seems like they dont drain.

Jamie do you have an ivory headliner for one with a factory sunroof and a vent for the far right of the dash?

Yeah, I have, and it made a world of difference. They weren't actually very bad when I first got the car (when the picture was taken, over 2 years ago), but by the time I got around to it, they were horrible. I switched in some aftermarket HID's at the same time and it was amazing.

It's really not that nice looking anymore. The front bumper looks like crap, the paint is peeling in a couple spots and it's super dirty from when I swapped out the engine. I need to take some time and really detail it again sometime.

I dunno, I had my 96 thru a few winters and now that I got a 98 it is the worst car I have ever driven if there is any snow on the ground :eek:

Drove my Gen 1 threw a blizzard even and made it home off Rt78 pretty much no major problem on tires on right.

Gen 2 even has functioning traction control and it sux!!! Even if it rains out this thing will not stick to the ground.

Gen 1 had the street slicks on the left and got better traction in the rain than my Gen 2 does with treaded stockers on it now. Yeah they are getting a bit worn but the others were grooved slick and they hooked better?!
