arcosine-
Could it be difficult because of the double wishbone suspension?
drainoil-
I'll be experimenting with fiberglass at some point so you'd be welcome to build a kammback off my template afterward. I like to DIY stuff like that.
Cd-
Thought about Ren&Stimpy but also about
Rén. I liked Kiku as well, but the car just isn't a girl.
WS,arc-
No boat tail. I'm debating putting rear skirts on. There will be no duct tape on this car. Whatever I make will have to be bolted or zip tied on. That could mean removable fiberglass rear skirts in the future. We'll see what MPG it gets as is.
It's a D16Y7 engine. I didn't see if it's still OBD.

Also did not get a chance to check the tie rod ends today, but I will pick up some stuff at NAPA tomorrow to get started.
Today was spent blocking the grilles, sanding and retouching some of the cracking bumper paint, moving the license plate to a less distracting place, and removing the front "H" emblem. Turns out the car was built in Ontario.
There is a serious problem with something in the drivers side window mechanism, so that it does not roll up correctly. I'm going to leave it as is until I can either buy another, working, door or fix it. The upper hatch needs a strut assembly.
The paint looks best in photos. It looks good from about 60 feet away.
