My 89 Daytona CS

[1966 dart wagon]

My name is Jack and I have an 89 Daytona AGS CS, here you will be able to follow my current progress on my car.

When I bought it:



I currently have the car at school and am prepping it for paint.





More pics to come tomorrow

[JohnnyIroc]

are you just prepping it or are you painting it too?

[Darkapollo]

Not bad.
Try to score some ShelbyZ GFX though, it just makes that gen body look so much nicer.

IM prepping it at school and painting it at the shop i work at, school wants way to much money for a paint job, plus at work i can use whatever brand and method i want.

Not bad.

I'm trying and get is the chin spoiler, the sideskirts are kinda hard to come by IMO, and shipping would kill.

[Darkapollo]

You might be able to graft the later body side skirts onto it. Im sure they would fit, and they are a dime a dozen at a pick-n-pull.

Well the roof is done, got started on the passengers door, wow its bumpy, it had 4 dents in the middle not counting the big one i already fix, thats on the top half








Dont worry I have a replacement fender that is done

Pull the fender out to get the edge of the door straight and holy cow was the cowl drain full of junk, i would suggest anyone with one of these cars clean that out.

More pics will be here tomorrow with the latest progress

Cool. Lookin good. I have the shelby Z sideskirts. I also have the airdamn if yo want to put it back together.

Are you talking about the airdam that you cut up and put on your wall?

Nice work, what other plans do you have for the car?

For this year i need to do some general maintenance first, Re core radiator, blower motor and heat core, along with flushing the whole system, Then intercooler, more boost, probably bigger injectors 72lbs, then when the turbo goes or I have money upgrade. On top of all of that i have an 89 TII 2.2 i have sitting that needs forged pistons and an extra head that needs to be redone with all the goodies.

that's the Top Dog Daytona of all Daytonas in my view, and perhaps the rarest of the model, you should keep the body pure stock that's the beauty of the AGS cars, dont ruin it by adding the incorrect Shelby trim stuff (great for a Shelby version but not on a true AGS car). Does this car still have it's original engine and trany? Glad to see another one being restored.

+1 nice to see one of these being restored. I sold an 89 AGS C/S not too long ago mainly because after owning Daytonas for 14 years I wanted to change. The 89-91 C/S AGS is a great package, I've owned two 89s in and one 91.

unfortunately it does not have the orginal engine, Im unsure of the trans, but it is a A555, But i do have an 89 TII 2.2 engine that will be going in it. I was not going to ad any of the extra trim stuff because of it being an AGS CS car but i am going to be adding the shelby z chin spoiler when I find one but thats it, looks like way to much of a monster truck w/o one IMO


More pics to come today after school of my current progress, check back soon

[ScottD]

1 inch lowering springs will take away the monster truck look without adding the chin spoiler. My friend's 91 C/S has the MP lowering springs on it and it sits real nice.

+1 Please DON"T put the ground effects and stuff on that car! Keep it as it is. That would be totally defeating the coolness of that model imo.

If you want gfx, sell that car to me and get a shelby z.

well if it got anything it would be just the chin spoiler dont worry no sideskirts for me.

stupid me forgot to take pictures before i left but no a good note the top side of the door is done, i couldnt believe the amount of dents in the passenger side door, at least 15 dents, 1 was about the size of a softball maybe bigger and the other one was about 2 softballs and I bought a new DA sander works real good

[1966 dart wagon]

The BIG dent

[Tony Fields]

I vote to keep the body stock..........great car!

[1966 dart wagon]

Passenger door is done, finally, seemed like it took forever, man it had alot of dents, but it sure is straight now

[1966 dart wagon]

Finished pulling out the rocker today, dam that dent was huge

while i was under the car i saw this awwwwhhh rust, no biggy at least i caught it soon

hell i think the qt is the straightest thing on the car so far


I'm making the roof factory sodder(sp?) line, where the roof meets the sail panel, all smooth.

Looking Good!
