Car looks awesome! I'm not sure if I like the clears in the bumper trim??? I would go Euro or OEM. My $0.02. Keep us posted.

I agree they didn't turn out the way I imagined.

Still slugging away at the car:


These are temporary seats until I finish the sport seats.

Yeah I know but I have a 90 mile commute daily so I think an auto may be easier on me at the end of the day :)
I have the pick up and my Honda if I feel like driving stick.

Lame Lame be quiet..nah jk but yea your missing a pedal even with a 90 mile commute lol..you can always pretend tho

wow amazing transformation so far! one thing i noticed was that the body shop put on your trunk roundel on the hood and your hood one on the trunk. You might want to swap them!

Thank you for mentioning that. I thought the emblems looked weird but assumed they were the same size. I fixed them as soon as I got home. Good eye.

It's been awhile since I have updated this post... So what's new? I had the cylinder head machined and headgasket replaced (there was a small oil leak), and the oil pan gasket replaced... The rear diff in the car has a bad pinion gear so I bought a replacement:



The tool box is now complete and I added Lloyd floormats. I have yet to replace the door hinge pins so the doors shut smoothly as well as installing a new muffler (the old tips have begun to rot).

I also added a German Electronics keyless entry kit. Still so much money to spend to satisfy my OCDness :)
