      Interior mostly in. Played around with my switch setup, it's sweet.

          It's on the road!

          Got stranded within 20 minutes (clutch slave cylinder bleeder screw was loose). I conditioned the interior with leatherique and holy crap that works well. Car runs great and I'm super happy.

              A buddy had these laying around so i couldn't resist. Ellipsoids with hids





              Two of four wheels arrived from Germany! Will need some cleaning up but very happy for the price.

                Turned down the fronts a bit. Trying to find the correct aired out height. I think I've got it.

                    Thank you! I think it was worth the hours of throwing a 4lb hammer to free up the siezed shock collars.

                    And i started work on the borbet BSs. I'm shooting for a mirror polished lip and silver centers.


                    Getting there..

                        Will do! I'll get high quality photos when it's sitting pretty. I hardly ever remember to take photos while I'm working on it so I'm lucky if I get anything.

                            Yes, first one. It went fairly well and the end product is perfect. It's mostly held on with glue which is really the downside as dealing with the old and new glue is awful.

                              So I'm at the point where everything needs to be perfect. Re-wrapped one of the seat backs today, came out pretty damn good but i think I'm going to redo it because I'm not 100% satisfied.

                                Two weeks later, the other two wheels finally arrived!



                                I'd like to give a shout out to SSSquid for being awesome. I purchased an sssquid chip from a member on here about 6 months ago. When i finally got around to installing it i found it did not work. I contacted sssquid and he exchanged it for a new one without question.

                                Car runs beautifully now, the chip with m30 afm and 19lb injectors makes a huge difference. If you're considering a tune, go sssquid and know you're covered.
