Ok, so heres more shots of the car in daylight.

the good:

- paid absoloutly nothing for the car, wheels and a crapload of other parts in the car, including a volvo hitch and a set of airbags

- still runs fairly good, when i got the car it had a "timing problem", which really just turned out to be a switched ignition wire

- decent clutch

- working lights, guages etc

- drives straight and true, no vibrations on the highway (new tires help)

things i repaired/replaced:

- new calipers (all were seized)

- new(ish) tails, also tinted

-refinished headlights/ corners (also blacked out, i can help anyone with this trick if they would like)

-fogs

-lip, even found it in silver :)

- cut springs

- refinished virgos

-new performance tires, general uhp 205/55/15s

- flathood

the bad:

- rust (tailgate mostly)

- Squishy Brakes, this can be scary, but they work, now i just need to scrape up enough cash to get them power bled, they also came this way...

- no cd player

- exhaust leak, bad enough to choke me when i have the window down (i just have to replace a nut on the mani collector and get new mani gaskets... hopefully this is my problem.


up next:

- molded fiberglass door pods

- molded fiberglass sub enclosure (in the empty well opposite the spare)

the pics:

you shouldn't need to "power" bleed the brakes. At work I just bleed a circuit at a time and it works out well.

How are the flex lines? are they all cracked or swollen. That gives 240s squishy brakes.

not really, they seem pretty firm, and no bulges. the pedal hardens up closer to the floor, its possible to push it all the way there, its drivable, but it feels like im pushing in a clutch... switching vehicles is a jerky experiance.
