    New project chassis to build!

    Nothing to brag about other than being 100% rust free from what i can see. Picked it up in South Carolina while down for the flipped meet. Interior looks pretty good as far as usable black interior pieces. Other than that i plan to start ripping it apart and swapping stuff over soon.












    I drove 4 hours further to look at it and was on the fense but took it since it was a "clean chassis" by my standards. My other option was another $1200 and a LXI which looked mint from pictures but this interior is what i need so i guess that was the deal maker. So the fun begins again!

    Re: New project chassis to build!

    Its supposed to be the typical gray but someone goofed somewhere LOL. At first i thought all the clear peeled off but someone just went over the factory paint. But its going to have a full color change anyways so i am happy that it is a straight chassis otherwise. I have been looking for a while and this was the best i could due at this time. Now that im home 88Lxi68 (Steve) found a local coupe <100K and rust free which is rare to get up in new england. But i have a solid car to build off of so i will accept and run with it.

    Craigslist i have been actively searching and i figured since i was going south i should make it a multi purpose trip. I kind of gave up searching in my area due to rust so i started from NC down the east coast.

    Nice rob! Why did you want to build another car rather than your red coupe? I thought that was your dedicated project...

    That car doesn't look 21 years old. It doesn't matter how much you spent, it's a score. Even the leather looks good. Maybe one bad seam, but that can usually be fixed.

    Beeee-aaaaa-utiful interior, thats a hell of a find. I've only seen a hand full of Se-i's for sale in the last year, they are never clean, and never 5 speeds. Awesome find!

    sorry about that buddy, but I am sure the camo look will go away eventually. Still a clean car and I pretty excited for you.

    Re: New project chassis to build!

    The red one had more rust than what shows and was more than i wanted to tackle as i plan to do a nice paint job someday.

    Mike-I sold you my door panels LOL I might sell the dash (in my attic), and these seats pictured above other than that i don't have much to spare.

    I had the funds to get my block to the machinist which i spent on getting this chassis. But it will be getting a ton of stuff that i have been sitting on for many years it seems. I will post more as it changes.

    Re: New project chassis to build!

    It was $2000 they wanted $2500 it was on CL for a good month easily. Now that im home its growing on me more since its very clean and minimal body work for its age.

    I guess i was hoping to swap all my stuff and have a drivable car that looked ok until i could afford a full paint job. And i never wanted to do paint before the engine was 100% to be sure i don't mess anything up.

    Re: New project chassis to build!

    They are not OEM covers as they were replaced and the tops are burned but in relatively good shape considering the stock leather never lasts. I was in the attic tonight and i have a few things i may post up for sale.
