My 92 LX

[PEDD01GT]

I filled most of you in on my project I was going to start over this winter (full exterior overhaul). Here is the progress so far with Ped222 to thank for most of it. I just bought a new 4in Harwood and will be trimming to fit tomorrow, the driver's side is about ready for paint, and my new fender is on and fits pretty nice (the car will stay white with the LX trim and a GT spoiler, nothing too fancy). So far the project is going quite smooth, but there is a long way to go!! Let me know what you think so far.

[LX2NV]

Pat, your "full exterior overhaul" is looking good, it should come out pretty nice with ped222 on it. now, you gotta make sure you got the bite to go along with the bark ! time for some low 11 runs looking like that, you know what to do.....

[resurection]

just curious. Are you using your old trim, or did you buy new trim? If you are reusing the old how did you get it off w/o bending it up?

I am buying a new driver's side molding. It was a little beat up before I took it off, so I wasn't that careful taking it off. I cut the passenger side off with a knife (little by little) and it came off perfect, so I will reuse that one. If you bend them up pulling them off, you can reuse them still, you just have to take the two metal backing strips off the back side (this is very time consuming) and let the molding lay on the concrete, it will straighten up after a few days of laying.

Looks good...Don't drink coffee and drive next time;)

Man I can't wait for the season to start again.

[PEDD01GT]

I finally have the car fully stripped down inside and out. Unfortunatley, I found a little bit of cancer on the drivers side floorboard (naturally lol). We're gonna replace that as well. On the bright side (when finished), she'll be one of the cleanest NE OH fox's around!

[Darkhorse]

Nice Pat - I was asking your brother in law about the car over on 4 eyed pride.

[Handyman]

I have given Pat a new name..... "Maxwell" ;)
Keep it the cup.....

So I see we still got jokes!......laugh it up chuckles....laugh it up!

Not all of us drive fully loaded "boat anchor" drag cars that come fully equipped with a cup holder! You know, that place you put your coffee when your entering the staging lanes!:D

It's called auto pilot...I sit back and have dinner the "Yacht" know's how to get to the finish line first:wave:

The car does look nice.Even if you did try using it as a coffee filter and a plow truck all in the same night:p

I think Jack asked him to move that pole, the coffee was just a casualty :beef:


Sucked that night, but it's funny now :rofl:

I was taught to drive a car in a straight line for about a quarter mile! F*** that reverse B.S., it's for the birds!:D

Well, we just cut in a new rocker on the passenger side of the 92 (the old one was caved in, how it happened I don't know) ped222 did an outstanding job, looks mint! The new floor pan should be here this week and should be in this weekend!! I'll get updated pics up by then.

Thanks Kurt, I hope so....:D

[Handyman]

Excellent:rock:Get that car ready...Track opens in March.

[PEDD01GT]

Got the new floorpan welded in this weekend and 90% of the car DA sanded. I think since I am this far, I am going to pull the motor and drivetrain too (what the hell, right! lol). I need to drop the tranny to undercoat the new pan anyway, so what's a few more bolts. Also picked up an aluminum driveshaft and torque box reinforcements as well.

[PEDD01GT]

I think I'm all set up to paint on Wednesday the 27th. Hopefully it'll be ready to rock in a couple more weeks

[Darkhorse]

Nice work dude - you're making great progress on that thing.

[PEDD01GT]

She's white now! Got the paint done today, with the execption of the moldings. The fascias are just sitting on the car in these pics with the old wheels on. Also gotta clean the overspray outta the wheel wells, but you get the idea. What do you think?

[LX2NV]

looks good pat, i will have to get down and check it out.

[Handyman]

Looks sweet....Nice Job:rock:

[steeda50]

looks nice. white is a nice color and you can "hide" a lot. props to those that have the patience for body work and paint. no thanks.:bow:

[DsmFighter]

Looking Good!

[resurection]

are you going to wet sand and buff it? Looks good!

[PEDD01GT]

are you going to wet sand and buff it? Looks good!

a couple of areas are going to need lightly sanded, (not too many) and yes a good buff out when cured. We noticed some flaws in the rear fascia, so it will need hit again :beef:, and the right quarter got some s*** in one little spot (hopefully it will sand out, if not it won't be a bad touch up). Over all it came out pretty nice though.

[brians88]

Hey , what`s going on , your car looks good in the pics,did you end up painting it? I wondered what happened to you since I was there to pick up the seats. If you need anything give me a shout!!

Thanks Brian, I ended up renting a booth from my buddies uncle. It came out really nice other than the few things mentioned above. I'll keep ya posted.

[brians88]

Glad to hear it, if you need help with anything let me know I`d be glad to help !!

[GTkyle]

Looks awesome Pat!

[KBOYZ95]

Looks kickass Pat, great job!!

[PEDD01GT]

Thanks man, I got a lot more done this weekend. All the trim is painted and back on, ordered new carpet from CJ Pony, ped222 is painting the moldings today. Hoping to get pretty much wrapped up in the next two weeks!

[PEDD01GT]

Well, it was finally nice enough to get her home today. Boy was this an undertaking, but it was worth it. I still have a few minor odds and ends to tie up, what do you guys think? BTW, sorry about the pic quality, I had to really cut them down to get them on.

[Junior2561]

looks clean :cool:

[Darkhorse]

Very nice man - thumbs up!!

[DsmFighter]

Looking good man!!!!!!

[PEDD01GT]

Thanks guys! You'll really have to see it in person, the pics no where near do it justice. A huge thanks goes to ped222 on this one! There is no way it could have been done without the countless hours he put in!

[LX2NV]

pat, your car came out so good that i'm going to feel bad spinning rubber and pebbles at it. hahahah

Damn....we need a smiley on here that yawns, cause that's what happens when I read trash like this. You never have been able to beat me in the past, so I don't expect anything to change now!! Even your car is capable when you're done, I will still win due to the man behind the wheel

:skid: :rofl:


Thanks for the partial compliment though bro!! lol

[LX2NV]

you should consider a vanity plate to go with the new ride.......... "SHO N SLO"


:rofl:

[GTkyle]

Wow your car turned out awesome Pat!! I'll have to come over and take a peek at it sometime soon.

Thank you

Thanks, I've been watchin' your project along the way. Any more progress?

[big matt]

Nice wheels and your car looks great!! I did my spring clean in my garage last week. Guess what I found? 1 lug with the washer. If you still need it PM me your addy and I'll send it this week. thanks, matt
