Default The Base

I might as well make one of these...

Well I have owned two G2 base models

my first one looked like this

Photobucket


Photobucket





then I decided I wanted one with a cleaner chasis

So I bought this one

Photobucket
It had 113k original miles and was the exact same as my original one.


Then I started swapping everything over to the "newer" one

here they both are being stripped of their goods






alot of stuff

Photobucket

Photobucket

Then I started striping the interior:
Photobucket

Photobucket

stupid Legend, autos for kids

Photobucket

Photobucket

It was time once again for some heavy lifting
Photobucket

My 323 always saves the day




Then I said 91-92 sub frames suck



so i got a 94-95 subframe
Photobucket

Then I poly'd all the mounts




Then I said these bushings are garbage
Photobucket




So i fixed that with some 60d poly
Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Then I washed the engine bay and did a minor wire tuck




and washed everything else

Photobucket
