Re: Sean's 1994 build...

I was wondering when you were gonna get around to starting a thread. I like your car, clean and understated, similar to what I am going for but my color will stand out a bit more though.

Have you done any interior work?

[sl2_dude4]

Re: Sean's 1994 build...

dont worry the interior part is coming.

Re: Sean's 1994 build...

Looking good. Dunno about the weld on the diff pin. Doesn't look like good penetration into the casting.

Looks good! While I have mostly just been doing cosmetic work, I really want to get into rebuilding a spare powertrain for my car.

Keep it up!
