JayzVr 106 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thought I would start a little bit of a build thread for my vr.It's a 94 obd1 with 150k on the clock it's a little bit of a dog as previous owner didn't look after it very well, needs the floor welding, new sills, new wings, rear arches, new boot and a respray, I do have a lot of plans for it, thinking about a shaved bay and maybe a turbo conversion but that will be in the future.First things on my list of things to do is get welding done, sort exhaust out, a couple of new sensors and my fans not working. Here's some piccy's Rotten sillBodge job of the exhaustAnd some of the holes and rust Link to post Share on other sites
