Here is somewhat of an update. It is probably going to end in more of a Q&A session than anything, hahaha. Any who;
After a lot of thought about many things I decided I was going to swap the interior. I am swapping from the brownish color it has now, to black and tan. One of the main deciding factors I would have to say, was the lingering odor of what was (or is), a mouse's nest.
Since originally getting the car and redoing it, I have pulled most if not all of the nest out. There is enough left though, that it is affecting the ability of the airflow when using the heat and such as well.
After decided I started collecting all the interior parts. I have almost everything. All I need now are door panels, seats, a center console, a headliner, and sun visors. Otherwise I am set, and have two of a few things!
After pulling the dash at a junkyard today, I realized it needed some serious attention to bring it back to life. So after cleaning it once already, I took some pictures of each step.
Here was the second was.
The owner of this car HAD to of smoked. Sorry if I offended you when saying this, but: smoking is nasty/disgusting! The dash its self-smells like smoke. Every time I "washed" it, the smell came out a little bit. I can imagine this dash never saw ArmorAll in its life either.
Here is after being ArmorAll'd for the final time (tonight).
I know it still doesn't look as great as it could, but for under $100 I am not complaining!
Now comes to the questioning..
As some of you may, or may not know, I have a few goodies saved up for this car. The parts are kind of....varying though. 264/272* cams, a TiAL 38mm, a Holset HX35, Wally. 255... Also a 2.4L crankshaft. Here comes come the fun questions.
What do I do? Keep the idea of building a 2.3L stroker to run E85 though (1600cc injectors) with the Holset, or keep it stock? Or do I use the cams and get 'Link V3 and have a LITTLE bit of fun?
I do not know whether to go full out, of just do something "fun". Help guide me here guys. Thanks!
