Gro Harlem - 92 & 93 MX-3 GS

[Gro Harlem]

To read about my previous plan just follow the link:

I picked up the car, finally, on the 12th. I fucked up the bumper ROYALLY removing it from the dolley. Turns out the front drivers spring was broken from rust so the bottom of the bumper got caught on the dolley frame & as it rolled down the ramp it tore UPWARDS, tearing the bumper in like 5 spots. I might be able to use plastic glue & fix it but it looks pretty bad. I was hoping to use the stock bumper for quite some time but IDK now.


Anyways, the car looks good body-wise. There is a ding near the top of the passenger fender & also near the "GS" sticker on the side of that same fender. The headlights look mint, the interior is mint minus a rip in the drivers side-bolster.

Underneath it is somewhat rusty, the body has no rust that i could find but the suspension parts, like the struts, control arms, swaybars & exhaust are pretty corroded. I plan on swapping the swaybars & control arms anyways since my 93 has urethane bushings already installed.


Pictures to come. I'll get pics of the progress as well.
