The Forgotten 9C1... I remembered!

Hey Guys,

So as some of you may know, I put that 95 MAB Washington State 9C1 that I'd forgotten about and had parked for the past year and a half back together and on the road. That poor, neglected car has been totally ignored since I took it off the trailer in Novermber '12. Any time I went to start it, it started. EVERY time. And I never once disconnected the battery or had to jump start it. Sometimes it sat for more than 6 months! AC blows nice and cold after a charge, too! How can I NOT drive the most reliable car in my possession?

Anyways, here's some before and after action:










What a difference the early tails and a wide set of wheels and tires can make, huh? Oh, and that 79 Z28 scoop is totally hacked on there, but I didn't damage the hood. I was covering a spot where the paint had lifted off... And for the record, you CAN fit 275/60's all around on 15x8's with 3.75" BS on a stock height 9C1.


It's the right color. There isn't a straight panel on it. It needs so much work... I think it looks so tough and badass like it is, that I don't even want to lower it! Say it ain't so!



I've got a set of charcoal leather bonnies and an S10 console that I'll throw in it... And drive it forever. Or not.

Did you get those door panels that were on CL?

Dude, it's about time, I only harassed you 87 times on FB to do something with that car...dents or not it's cool! I'm happy to see it out and about.

Hey, I saw some charcoal Bonnies not that long ago...  

My SS is "fixed I guess" so we should do another meetup thing soon. lol

I did, actually! Thanks for the heads-up! And I got them via a delivery chain within the club. I love this place. Thanks Big Paulie and Al for getting them to me!

Fo' sho, Matt!

And yeah, those bonnies in a white cah on top of another cah at Hollands? lol

Yup! I would have grabbed those if I had something to put them in, they looked like they just needed basic cleaning from butt-dirt, kehd. I'm glad someone on here grabbed them. I asked my dad if he wanted them for my old Blazer since the driver's seat is broken and he has the backrest propped up...he said no and then I forgot about them.   

It's amazing what a good washing can do. I've given some of my most hopeless looking junkers a power washing (best tool ever invented) and they looked great!
