New to 3geez. Here's my LXI

[DxNyce]

Well, can't post pictures yet, but as soon as I can I'll be sure to do so. It's an 88 LXI Hatchback. 200k+ with engine replaced at 120k.

I'm liking it so far, reminds me a lot of my 2G Eclipse the way it runs. Got it for $600 so I can't complain. lol

Welcome..

[DxNyce]

Thanks, I've gotten plenty of info from the site already. I know a lot of you guys know your cars lol. I'm not really great with performing ops on my car (I'm a techie), but I'm pretty good at learning. Like I know what specific parts do but don't have the knowledge or tools to install most.

I'd like to make this my project car after I'm able to buy another daily driver. Maybe make it an offroader :D

yea i love me some hatchbacks too!

[phrenology]

NICE...I'm for rallying it, if it isn't gonna be your daily driver.

[DxNyce]

Well for now I will be driving it every day. I use it for school, and I'm looking for a new job. I just want to do a couple minor things to it like fix the upholstry/sound. There are rips in the vinyl on the doors, and the drivers seat has metal bar sticking out of it which is painful if you don't watch yourself. Only one speaker works, and I hate the radio so I have to get new speakers/head unit.

I figure in a year and a half, I'll have another car and this will become an offroad project. Plenty of opportunity for that in PA :D

[DxNyce]

I'd also like to delete the rust around the rear quarters and paint the car white. Make the interior black. I'm not dumping tons of money into it, only about 1500 or less maybe. I got it for $600.

[charliekuney]

Make the interior black.

1988 Phoenix Red DX hatch for everything but the door panels, or 1989 Charcoal Granite SE-i coupe for everything except rear interior.

[DxNyce]

^Nice that actually helps a lot. Now I know what to look for at the yard.

[charliekuney]

Here's what the SE-i grey is (leather interior, by the way):
