New guy with '97 tib
hye guys i'm new here and pretty mew to hyundais all around,but really like the platform i purchased and the community itself seems prety good.
I purchased the car for $600 in need of rotors all around,a rear wheel bearing,rear brakes and a windshield.
All of that is fixed now and the car is inspected but i think my cat is clogged so it's not on the road still.
I'm planning on dedoing the entire exhaust since i recently purchased an ebay header off a local guy on crookedh,i also got a cai and some crookedh stickers as well,all for $70. None of which is installed.Anyway here are some pics of the car,any comments or feedback are welcome for sure.
Dirty bay ^^^^
little rust ^^^

Glad to see you made it over....thats a great deal for $600. The rust isnt too bad, but the only way to get rid of it unfortunately, is to completely cut that section out and weld in a patch panel. I think once the spring comes, and you clean up the engine bay, and interior...the car will be looking really good. smile.gif
Good luck though with the car, and let us know if you have any questions on anything.

beautiful. just beautiful. all it needs is some leather seats. some mudguards. i suggest you go to the junkyard and fins a salvage. i can't emphasize the deals you get there for unscathed parts, tiburons barely driven.
mine was the same exact car, same color.

thanks a lot guys
yeah visionz it took awhile on this computer but oh well. i do plan on getting the bay and interior cleaned up come spring can't wait till it looks nicer haha. i do want to get that rust taken care of soon so i may take it to a shop and get an estimate.
as far as the mudflaps and leather seats...i'll deffinatly be trying to get some flaps but i'm not a fan of the leather. i find it's never comfortable for me haha.
