markyb86's rs build thread
Monday, June 02, 2008 8:46 PM
So im posting some pics up to show how the RS was when I got it, and where its at now. ...and some plans for the future....

April Fools day when I got it..





After blkcavfire sold me his doors




Hood pins




Mid-May painted it flat black (i know it looks dumb sorry)






June 2nd







In the future im painting it the same color as the doors were when I got them. I'm also going to get the z kit, and some drastic body work. needs an overhaul on the inside. And I don't know too much about swapping engines but my mother in law has had a bonneville with a 3800 sitting behind the mechanics since october.. :-( any tips and comments welcome!!!

The pontiac wheels are killing the car.

I've sort of always wanted one of those style Js, I'd 3400 swap it and have a ball.

that would be awesome I wish I could get some help too. I'm not the best with body or engine work but im learning as it goes down. Im not 100% newb this is like my 9th car (and theyve all needed work) but as far as major repairs go im fresh to the game. my main issue i need to get done sometime is my drivers side floor has a hole in it the size of a big can of coffee so I think ill have to cut it all out and rivet some new metal in or have someone weld it in.. and get new carpet and new seats. the center console is f'd up but ill just buy a new one and paint it to match. i like hearing the comments and thanks to all

Yeah, I imagine so o.o; Not to mention the whole being stuck in the dog house for taking her rims huh?

My wife's been trying to talk me into putting the stock wheels off her 03' Malibu onto my cavy and then getting her some custom wheels.... I'm pretty sure they won't fit anyway, but I've never bothered to check into wheels for the Malibu so I don't really know for sure.

So today/tonight I started gutting my interior out. Its so discusting under the seats, under the center console, behind the rear interior panels....
So this is right before I got the rest out. The drivers seat is gone and im gonna have to drive with my passenger seat until I get new seats.








ehh more to come. carpet comes out tomorrow.... time for the world to see the hole in the floor

holy crap I don't think I've ever seen a hole that big in a floorboard before, I would definitely recommend just scrapping it and getting a different car

Nuts to the idea of quitting. This car is too nice looking to just essentially toss in the dumpster. Just cut off the rust now before it eats away more metal, then get some measurements, some metal, and a welding torch. 1st gens look too good when they're done to get rid of it.
