Saving a 94 Laguna Blue (build thread)
Anyone around here interested in a build thread. I'm attempting to rescue a salvage title Laguna Blue 94, semi-restore and autocross it stockish for a year. I am already gathering parts for a 5.0 conversion, and I already have the engine with AFR heads and a pretty stout cam (I may go milder actually).
Anyway the car was a real beauty, garage kept, well maintained, and then the newest owner got rear ended shortly after purchase. The insurance company of course issued a salvage title since they didn't want to repair it. The car was so minimally damaged and so clean I bought it for 2k. I'm going to be about 2k into repair work including some extra repair and paint work to a few other areas. I also have a harddog rollbar, a blue Robbins vinyl top, new Koni shocks and bump stops and a Racing Beat front sway bar on hand for E stock fun. I immediately installed a Voodoo knob as the stock knob sucks. I also have some 99 15x6 wheels and Federal RS-Rs for them which will be installed on the wheels tomorrow. I also have new shoes for one of my other cars.
So if anyone is interested, I have tons of pics of the car already including every step of the repair process, and will have tons more as things move along.
