this is how it was when i first got it 
It needed ALOT OF WORK!!
How it is as of 2day......
At least it looks better!!! When i first got it it was like a freaken jungle inside... there were leaves everywhere!!! The brakes were so bad that when i had to brake i had to put the pedal all the way down and then some more. I had a couple of scary incidents
. the first thing i did was the tune-up, oil change, spark plugs, etc. I thought i would solve the brake problem by changing the brakes and the rotors... but it didnt. i found out that it was the MC and presto!! i felt like i had the best brakes in the world hahaha jkjk. The exhaust manifold was cracked so i thought it wouldnt be a problem replacing it. Then i found out that i had an engine from a cx hatchback. I couldnt find one anywhere in town. But i did some research and i found out that i could replace it with an HF manifold. I found one on ebay for $81. It fit the right on to the engine but it didnt fit the cat!!!! 
So i filled it with some hi-temp stuff. Hopefully it passes smog tomorrow.

it didnt pass smog and today is the last day for the temp. operating permit. i need to get an exhaust manifold and a cat. And hopefully after that it passes 
. But its gonna cost some $$$. But im not gona just let it sit there of course. Im going to work on it as much as i can to improve it.
