Nice 3rd

Hello again!

Got a few bits done today, first off was the rear speakers, as I had some spare ones of the same size lying around from my old car.

Got the old ones out:

Old vs new (that's what bum droppings speakers look like after 24 years! - They fell apart in my hands)

And the new ones in: (so much better quality, but still planning on amped front comps and a 15/18" sub when I can afford it)

Next up was the exhaust, I got a few bits delivered from t'internet:

Old back box off ready to chop:

And after lots of measuring, fitments and gaffa tape, I finally got it all welded into one hybrid mega japcan beast:

I've attached it temporarily, but i'll be sorting some proper hangers asap and get it nice and tight against the bumper as it's a bit low here:

Thanks for looking! comments welcome

I love the 3rd gens. Had an '88 a few years back.

Was this on ebay recently? I remember seeing one when looking for my 5th gen and considering going back to a 3rd gen when i seen it. Or was that as different well kept white one

Cheers folks!

Yeah it was on ebay for a day before I contacted the guy and made an offer, then got it the next day

Little update under the hood.

So here's what it looked like, not exactly clean, but drokking good for a 24 year old car!

I gave it a quick clean with some wd40, and took off the exhaust manifold cover

Then began sanding down the cover

First coat

All done

Gave the bay another clean, and whacked it back on

Sorry it's not the most exciting update, but tomorrow i'm getting powdercoating quotes for the rocker cover, and i've just had a mad silicone hose shopping spree on ebay, so good stuff will be happening soon!

Comments welcome
