Winters suck IMO. There's really not much to do if you don't snowmobile or ski. Instead of wasting what little money I have on beer and liquor all the time, I'm going to put it into my favorite car....

My LX was already in pretty good condition interior/exterior wise, but I couldn't really say the same about the motor/engine bay. I figured I'd keep myself busy by doing a little restoration & rebuilding. I'd really like to do some high performance stuff, but I just can't afford much right now. Not to mention I'm the kind of guy who would get into a lotta trouble if I had more than 170 HP lol. As of right now, I'm just going for a stock rebuild, stage1 clutch, lightweight flywheel, and some sandblasting and painting. I want everything to be MINT, like when it rolled off the assembly line 10 years ago.

cylinder walls don't look too bad. probably wont need a bore & new pistons, but I wont know until I measure everything.
