My '84 Starion with Technica trim. My dad got into a few accidents with it, as you can tell. but other than the body damage its got only a few problems. It runs and drives, but it hasnt been used in quite a long time, definitely not to its full power :wink: it has all stock parts. I need to take a few more pics of the body, but for now this is what i have.

I think this is one of the coolest stock dashboards that starquests have to offer

 

stuff:

 

-Throttle body was leaking, fixed that.

-In the process of fixing the leak, somehow clogged an injector.

-Unclogged the injector but the car idles at about 2000rpm

-knocking noise up front while driving, probably suspension

-Right side headlight motor broken, but i have the replacement.

-headlights go up, but not down (wt....) possibly passing control relay

-A/C belt broke off, need a new one

-Alot of rust.

-The front of the right fender is destroyed, have a new one handy

-Need a new bumper, this one is bent up and kinda deformed, along with the panel above it (is that a valance panel or header panel? or are they the same thing?)

-Both quarter panels have a decent amount of rust, also have 2 new ones handy.

 

First, its fixing the high idle problem, then the headlights, then the body with a nice paint job. Once it's running pretty solid, it's performance time :D

 

Doesn't look like this will be too tough, any suggestions would be great!

Body work! got new OEM quarter panels from mitsu (last 2 of like 3 left in the whole world supposedly) got the old ones cut off, and these new ones them welded on by some body shop guys. They actually did a decent job. check it out:

 

Looks alot better compared to the ones above ^^

No more rust!

 

Next objective is to sand down the whole car, primer, then paint. All problems with the car are fixed, and it runs like a champ. Engine bay is alot cleaner too, pics of that later :D
