Project 88 LX Vert......Im In Deep...

noooooooo those pics turn my stomach. i personaly would ditch the car and start with a better vert. i think it is worth the extra bux

im trying to get another 5.0 on the road...not buther up two cars....my dads 86 was worse then this...ill bring he back from the dead...give me 6 months... it should be painted, new top, and running great by then.
 
I wouldn't rag on the kid, most kids his age (in my town) are busy with their scooter gangs "tearing up the streets" in their noisy annoying slow Harley Pedalsons.

Keep up the work, Ryan! Good luck

That spring is bad. Mine looked about like that and when I did my spring swap mine broke around the 2nd or 3rd coil.

yeah...i know...i planed on replacing them with some lowering srpings...just got to find a set that will drop it about 1.5" in the rear and 1" in the front...

c-springs do the trick?

Im sure opinions will differ, but i have rode in a car with c springs, and it felt like my teeth were going to fall out... was just a hard ride.
 
yea.. you should like em.. mines a GT.. yours is a lx convertible.. my cars fully loaded (a few things are taken off but not that big of a deal).. weight shouldnt be to different
 
ryan i give you a ton of credit for taking on this project and really taking action. none of this "i plan to do this this and this" but not actually doing it. you said you were gonna paint up that rear and damnit the next day you were working on it. i wish i could have that kind of determiniation, mine has been on jackstands for 3 months waiting for a damn 5-speed install. keep us posted, and dont overlook the details. clean up/replace/fix things while you have access to them, and it will all go so much smoother. good luck.

yeah i straight up baked in my black on black t/a man, and the ac didn't work, so i'd have to rock the windows....jeebs that sucked

yeah man i was the same way in my 91 LX. black on black and no A/C. one day the car had sat outside for about an hour while my buddy and i were in the mall, it was 90 degrees that day and my buddy dropped a stink bomb out his arse not even a minute after getting in the car. the smell punched me in the face and i couldnt see for a few seconds. i refuse to go without A/C anymore.
