Is the car a 97? Curious to see the 94-95 crabclaw wing on the trunk. I've only ever seen them on a handful of 97 cars from the factory...

Looks like a fun project! Interested to watch your progress!

Good eye!

OP does the trunk have a 3rd brake light in it as well?
Wondering if that crab claw was added after.

A little update. I've got the bay just about stripped. I'll be shaving and tucking as much as possible while keeping all the essentials. ABS unit will hopefully be relocated to the other side of the framerail and obligatory scottrod weld in panels will smooth everything out nicely.

Sold the carpet today and I think I've run out of surprises on the car.

check out the fitment with these 17x10.5 reps. SN95 + IRS = perfect fitment. Just needs a fender roll.

I don't think this sucker has ever had more than a door ding. I can't find any damage of any sort. The body is straight as an arrow. the fenders are all factory issued. Not a hint of body work. Just crappy mods.

Oh and I've decided to reassemble the engine myself.
