I remembered my super motors username!
Sorry most of these are lousy cell phone pics (I'm typically pretty lazy), my phone isn't that great because I like to stay a few years behind with my technology (I'm cheap too
) To put it in perspective, my last phone before my current one was a flip phone
Here's the first pic I took of her, with the way-too-big tires I swiped off a small junk caddy at work... they are better than riding on steel belts!
And here we are trying on two different size wheel/tire combos at once... the fronts are 16" Forester wheels with slightly too big of a tire. I thrive on used/junkyard parts, so not everything is always 'proper'
I was only able to find 3 at the junkyard, and dangit I really wish i had the 4th!
You can see the nice dent in the driver's fender here, there's another next to the driver's door handle.
And here with all 4 Impreza wheels/hubcaps - I never thought any hubcaps could look so nice!
I had also polished/sealed the headlights here, they came out much better than I expected!!
I was proud of my first significant fix so I broke out the good camera to capture the moment 'Instagram style' (I don't use Instagram) I'm sure most of you know exactly what's going on here
And here's the only pic so far of what I like to call my 'electro-mojo'... I really like small electronic doo-dads and wiring stuff. My '85 is one of those cars that's old enough to not have an underhood fuse box, just a mess of fuse links... but it does now!
I'll get better pics of this and other things I've done one day.... I installed a USB charge port down in the far lower right side of the console sort-of where some new cars have them from the factory. Also a mini digital volt meter in the dash next to one of the switch blanks, LED replacement bulbs galore, CD player/speakers/subs/amp, and I fit a small thin red COB LED bar inside the 3rd brake light & wired in a flash module for it
I also made my own cell phone mount after being disgusted with what options there are to buy out there... I don't like crap stuck to my windshield, or on the dash, and those vent-clip things look like the dumbest thing I've ever seen
I made it erector set style, proudly without putting any holes in anything (that you can see if you remove it) You can place my phone it in and take it out of the mount with one hand and it holds tight, and leaves room for the charge and audio cables to be plugged in.
I have a pair of small amber LED DRL/driving lights yet to install that I think will tuck in the lower bumper cover reeeaaalll nice
I want to rig up an under-hood light too, and plenty of things I'm forgetting...
