Yep. Looks MUCH better when there's an engine/tranny in there.

Even without a motor/tranny, that's not too shabby a deal for $800.

I agree, for next to no time and money you can have those door panels looking great. Then spend an afternoon on the interior and that will make the car muchh nicer. The exterior is just a paint job away from looking good!

The door panels are a lot better than they were i am hoping to get some new ones for x-mas but these are temporary, I have had class everynight so i havent had time to clean it out, i put the radio in that day so there is still crap in it form that too, but thanks for the compliments also the girl i was seeing liked the sideburns but they are gone now along with her dumb asss
Yea for 800 i got the car, a good t-5 short throw shifter, and everything you see there along with new brakes, white face gauges and a few other goodies that i cant remember. Anyways i will post more pics as it progresses.

I know the dye didnt turn out too great but i had to recover them and the vinyl i used was two different colors, i didnt know at the time, but the lighting isnt that good either. I took fabric dye/ paint and it is splotchy as you can see in the photos but i hopefully am gonna get some new ones like i said before.Urban96 the engine bay is coated with somthing, that isnt spray paine so maybe it is the Por-15 stuff you are talking about. They took time enough to fill all the holes in the engine bay, and grind them down. Also tonight i started driving, and turned on the heater and the heatercore went out.....i am not too happy but i will replace it in a few days hopefully. I still have to clean the outside and clean the wheels ect, and armor all the interior.
