Awesome build man. I just read through your entire build thread, you've done some good work. Maybe I missed it, but what suspension setup are you running?

right now it's 95% stock with just vogtland lowering springs. suspension work will be coming this winter probably

car passed safety and emissions first try with no issues. so relieved. i drove it a bunch today and it seems to be running pretty well. rear tires are rubbing bad so im gonna have to figure that out. i need to plug my sunroof hole too. the airflow through it at 60mph+ causes the roof to vibrate and go nuts

ran some seafoam through the intake today. seems to be running pretty well. emissions and inspection tomorrow

it was kinda hectic because of the cure time but not exactly "hard". now that i'm done i wish i would have spent more time on it. it looks good but could be much better.

i got a windshield put in yesterday and drove the car a bit more. it's running okay but the throttle response is pretty weak and the power feels super peaky at about 3000rpms. still working out cluster issues. i have no lighting, no fuel gauge, and no speedo. luckily i can pass insp. without a speedo so i'm gonna give it a shot monday morning.

my rear tires are rubbing pretty nasty like so i'm gonna have to redo the fender roll and pull them a bit or just let it ride. i hate rubbing on brand new tires though.

Im so glad I live in the sticks. My inspection is they ask the year and mileage and im done haha. I wanna try and cover my dash in alcantara

[mitchlikesbikes]

So dope. How hard was the dash to cover?

Can't wait to see that thing finished !!!

i am excruciatingly close to buttoning things up. i took the car out for a drive and a fresh tank of gas/seafoam this evening. i need to go get a windshield put in tomorrow, then roll the rear fenders. after the roll it's safety/inspection time so hopefully i pass. if i pass that i will be road ready. there's just a ton of random shit i wanna do while i'm driving the car though.

current pressing issues:
spongy brake pedal (need to bleed them)
no interior lights other than on my aftermarket gauges
running a little warm after a long time
hesitated throttle response

here are some mostly finished interior pics (not yet ruined by my ugly tan comfort passenger seat that's going back in):

reinstalled my hood yesterday for the first time since i bought the car in december. also test fitted the wheels and tires. my rears are already rolled a little but they need to be done a little better, and the fronts need to be rolled as well.
