well Im keeping it mostly that color,its gonna be flat black and green with flat black stock wheel's and chrome lugs,so far only have $800 into it and a ton of spare parts

Image

I'm attempting to repair the front bumper cover

Image

lots of layers of fiberglass on the inside and tons of Bondo on the outside

Image

This front bumper was held together by about 20 zip ties when i bought the car,the repairs arent perfect but way better than it was

so I pulled it out of the garage and blew a brake line so I had to drop the tank to change it

Image

Image

Image

figured while i had the tank out id take out the walbro fuel pump for the turbo stratus project

Image

I looked everywhere for info on which line goes where into the abs controller and couldny find it anywhere so in case anyone needs to know starting from the firewall forward it goes
right front
right rear
left rear
left front


got the car all back together with the fuel pump my brother donated to me only to find out his 2nd gen fuel pump wont work in my 1st gen so I get to take the tank out again this weekend

This project never ends !!!!!!!!!!!
As far as I have gone
I knew what side I'm on
But now I'm not so sure
The line begins to blur

Looking good. I remember seeing this car when it was a full-blown show car. Didn't look soo bad from the road...a bit on the rediculous side. Apparently it was full of failure. Glad to see your nursing it back to health. Your gonna love your 1gn. I know I am inseparable with mine,

the guy that owned it before me failed on everything with this car from the paint to the srt4 swap that never ran right so he was afraid to race it
