Blackberry Scrap Steel Fixer
4 Attachment(s)
I had a post about this car a couple month ago but can't remember what I called it and can't find it
But basically I was looking for a part for my other car and this guy told me he might have one. Turns out I found this car mixed with other scrap cars, scrap steel, and blackberries. It needed a new radiator, turbo, tie rod end, alignment, tires, and a gillion other very little thing but for $300 I couldn't pass it up. The entire right side and hood had a gillion cracks (like a cracked window) from sun damage and where the previous repaint job primer had cracked. There was some rust and a few dents here and there. So I have it all cleaned up for the most part now. Engine bay was a mess from corrision, dirt, oil, and mold from sitting for 5 years. I will be painting the wheels next week hopefully along with the splash pan and then putting the rest of the trim peices back on. I thought I would put on some pics of it. It has come a long ways. Maybe as inspiration for others who see hoopties and want to fix them up. I will try and get other pictures of how I redied the carpets. (it was sun faded blue and white but the interior is black so I dided it back) The seats were already in good condition, thankfully because black is hard to find. So anyway on my weekends I did the body work and last weekend painted it in a freinds garage. Ohh while posting the pictures I found my old Thread :) Here is a link if you are interested in some of the other pictures. You can see the type of condition it was in. But now it runs like a top....almost perfect for 290K. http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/diesel-discussion/145967-now-i-have-learn-123-a.html?highlight=learn+123 I don't have the pics of the interior dying but they are on my dads computer and I will try to get those. He sends very large files so it takes awhile. |
I will try and scrounge up some better pictures as these small pictures don't do it justice. But I have some pics of the engine compartment and some other to post and I will try to do that soon. You can see the ugly engine in the other post.

That's an awesome job. It would be pretty cool with that neon green pinstiping around the glass!!!!! I may drive my ol' 300D to Portland from Florida and leave it with you for a few weekends...... |
hahaha
That is really funny you mention that. I really liked the look of it as well :) hhahahaha Yeah. The best part was if I can find the pictures is when it was all black with all the masking on. It looked amazing. I should have filled in all the wholes for the trim and painted everything black. Like door handles, grill...everthing :) I should photo shop it and see what it looks like.
As for comming up...maybe I'll be closer to you. I'll be heading off to training in SC around October. |
