Not a whole lot to say today other than Thanks to a fellow dsmer that dropped by today to help me get this transmission out. Again THANK YOU!

Every thing is better with a wing
Ok not every thing but a dsm 100% is. Otherwise it looks like a cavalier. i got kind of curious about h ow much filler the previous owner used to cover up the holes. I didn't really expect to find a 1/4 inch of it though
Finally starting to build instead of destruct
Today I didn't make a bunch of progress (yet and with the humidity I doubt I go into the garage ) but I did manage to cover the headliner in epoxy. I plan on recovering the headliner in some kind of automotive themed fabric or something 90's themed. Time will tell. If you cant guess … Continue reading Finally starting to build instead of destruct
Interior Teardown Part… Science?
For the past couple of days i've been trying to scrape up the sound deadener... or well... find the motivation to do it after spending an hour on this: If any of you reading this are wondering why in the hell I didn't use dry ice, well, it's because I had no idea that this … Continue reading Interior Teardown Part… Science?
Interior Teardown Pt.3
Today I spent a few hours just getting the clutch/brake pedal out of the car. This was a bigger bear than I imagined it would be. Finally got there though. Pulled the floorboard/firewall matting away and found more mold. Seriously guys if you're gonna drill a hole in a car body and then remove what … Continue reading Interior Teardown Pt.3
Time to pick some paint
Today I received the 4 color options i'm looking at ( really two colors but different variations ). I do airbrushing for a another hobby and i'm familar with Createx's Wicked line of paints. I grabbed 4 2oz bottles of Purple, Plum, Teal and Green pearl paints from that line. decided i was gonna try … Continue reading Time to pick some paint
Interior Teardown Pt.2
Today I spent the better part of 3 hours pulling the dash out of the car. it was 84F outside and lets just say the garage isn't cooled... Not much to say here other than here are some photos of what most dsm's look like in the junk yard I guess. Enjoy! Oh... and when … Continue reading Interior Teardown Pt.2
The teardown has begun
I have high hopes for this car. High hopes can come with great disappointment if you try and rush a project of any size. This being probably the largest ( by far ) automotive feat I've ever attempted I'll openly admit that I am scared ill lose the will to continue the project over time. … Continue reading The teardown has begun
Added Something every dsmer ignores
New hatch struts. If any of you have ever had a car with a heavy hatch held up with something like a 1x4 or a pvc tube I highly suggest just spending to 23 bucks and replacing them. Not much hurts your when you're back there and 50lbs of glass comes crashing into the middle … Continue reading Added Something every dsmer ignores
The DSM Nostalgia build ( from start to 5/25/2021 )
Back in the early 00's I started tinkering with cars. Dumping all of my money into my shitboxes over and over again. I loved every moment of it. Well... nothing has changed. My wife and I were dating back when I was in highschool, separated for almost 20 years and yet here we are now … Continue reading The DSM Nostalgia build ( from start to 5/25/2021 )
