1996 SE 5SPD bought in january (56K unfriendly)

I know there are a lot of rust spots...but in quebec...its almost normal....but all that will be taken care of in may....I will also modify the low part of the car, and change the color :P
plus tinted windows....in the very near future

temperature still hangs around 35F at this time of year...soo too early to begin body work now

notice the shortened shifter ? :P

a lot of mileage, but still runs GREAT!

Wow...that is pretty rusty, lol. I guess they use lots of road salt in Quebec too. I really like those Probe rims...they fit the car well.

I have done part of the rust repair today, the rest will follow as soon as I can have access to a heated garage again

as for the RUSTY, you should have seen my 92gxe I had before....when you opened the trunk and pulled on the carpet, you could see the coil-springs/shocks...
and a GREAT MANY cars in quebec are FAR WORSE than mine is :P

It is NOT a factory dual-tip muffler....in fact, its a standard oem 96 se muffler, but I drilled a hole to the left of the other, inserted a pipe identical to the other, adjusted the sound by changing the length, and once I was satisfied with the sound, I welded it there...

The sound is nice, and loud only at WOT...while cruising (engine not under acceleration, its very quiet...almost like stock)
