What are you going to do with the interior? And did you pull off the early exhaust and replace with an SC exhaust? And do you like the signal orange?

Ok, I'm really just asking these questions to subscribe...Looks awesome, love the orange.

Looking forward to more final assembly photos.
With your car down for awhile, after a longer than anyone expects/ physical/expensive project new paint and final assembly can be a real boost.
Orange, nice choice is it signal?

It is as close to signal as I could get without going crazy, should be very close.

SC exhaust? its 2 in 1 out, car has SSI header/heat exchangers.

I have RS door panels, and a Sparco Evo seat and black dash. Probably put in grey RS carpet and dye the remaining leather black. Possibly new headliner.

Cant wait to get the car on Saturday. Hopefully be able to drive it in 3 or 4 weeks at least a little.

You will have to stop by and check it out. I am usually home by 6, lets pick a day. Do you weld?

I need to dye some interior pieces too, could use a guidance on that. What type of dye did you buy for yours?

Long Delay. I herniated a disk in my back about the time I got the car back from Paint (September). Had to have surgery, really slowed me down....I will never take a healthy body for granted again!

She is getting pretty close, hope to be driving it by early Jan. Looks really great, cannot wait to do the ride height. Amazing all the weight back in and it still sits 2 inches high!

The new black headliner looks great, I was really worried about it but I am happy with the results. The next one will be better....I will add a shot of it later.

A few pics.

Smart A$$$$$$$ I need to set my new camera date up :-)

A few more shots..in the rain after a quick drive :-)






And one of the headliner, notice I left the coat hangers (?) and lights out, makes for a really slick look and could easily be added back. I like!




So whats left.

- Wire headlights and Turn signals
- Final ride ht
- finish RS carpet (2 or 3 pieces)
- Install RS door panels
- work on the stereo wiring
- hook up and charge the AC
- Carrera Decals
- Install frt rear bumper to body gaskets
- Install Sparco Drivers seat

and then I cant believe I will put it up for sale...I feel like I have a life time into it

But its for a good cause!

Very close to "driving Project"

Still need to

- install rear latch hold down
- Install bumper gaskets
- Install Carrera Graphics
- fix one door panel pull
- Install/ fix stereo wiring
- Get Ac bolted up and ready for charge
- clean/detail engine and trunk
- few other little things

Going to get insurance and a tag on it next week and start driving it to work once or twice per week...that will be fun!
