body and interior Projects, time, space and cash

It is an Ireland air dam.  I bought the car with it over 12 years ago.

I just talked to Jack.  The car is almost complete.  Just a few minor adjustments.  I should get it back by the weekend.

I'll post pictures of the finished product.

Awesome, looking forward to see those pics! I'm actually stealing some ideas of your car, sorry can't help it. Mine is in the body shop right now getting worked on, hopefully will be done by end of February...

The awesomeness of 2002s is how we can customize them to our liking.  Most of my ideas came from others too, each idea from a different car.

Some I tried on my own on another 2002 and liked the outcome and applied it to this one.  Some ideas I tried did not come out so nice.  So I ditched them.

Being a non-purist, I don't have the overwhelming urge to keep it stock, even for a tii.  Value be damned since I have no intentions of selling it.

The car done. Pick up date is Saturday.

Henry is home.  And it started to rain.  But I was able to snap a couple of pictures.

Next:  Carpet, center console, sound system.

The car drove surprisingly well on the 40 mile trip home considering it's been pretty much parked since 2008.

Once I got the gig that paid the bills, I no longer have the time to tinker in the garage. But I'm committed for 2016. I need to make serious progress on the car and I've made some investment in parts to help my motivation. It'll be 9 years since my dad passed, and since we stopped work on the car together. I need to move forward on this car - his car - and make some headway. I would like to drive it again one of these decades!

 

 

Congrats, OP on your project finally coming together. It's incredible how quickly time passes with these things.

Hey Pierre, any more pics? really interested to see whole picture of your assembled car with that color, still trying to make up my mind on the color I love.

I'm leaning towards darker grey, something like "ford mustang magnetic" 2015-2016 model...

More pictures.

In case you didn't notice.

I'm using this car as a template. I just came back to it to see whether or not you had 'filled in' your rear side blinkers and I see that you had. I personally like the no trim look, and am headed in the same direction. I'm still on the fence as to whether to paint the waist trim stripe or vinyl it. I'm going to go back to Polaris, but am going to see if they can put more metallic fleck in it to spruce it up.

 

Nice job Pierre.

Did somebody mention silver tii???

Looks great!  Love the mods and the color.  Great idea on the silver trim stripe!
