This car isn't in great shape, but it runs well and is an overall reliable car.

I just recently replaced the tired, 20-year old shocks on the front and rear with Monroe Sensa-trak units. As well, I installed OEM variable rate springs on the rear.

I'm not very experienced when it comes to bodywork, but the 20 year old paint is done and rust is taking hold on nearly every corner of the car. Without the proper tools or area to work in, I'm doing what I can to clean it down to the bare steel, and protecting it with some grey rattle-can primer. The fender in this picture was previous mangled by a collision with a sunfire. Using an old hammer, a 2x4, a some elbow grease, I've massaged it back to it's present condition.

PHAT DUBS. I've also got a variety of 13" steel honda rims on this car. I'm not sure which style this model came with from the factory, but I only have a set of 2 that match. I'm hoping to throw on some generic-looking vw alloys or something similar in the future.

The interior of this car is in surprisingly good condition, save for the seats.

With only 240,000 kms on the clock, this car runs like a gem. The motor is a 1.5L with a 5 speed manual. I was told this motor has about 82 HP, someone correct me if I'm wrong. :)
