Whoever doesn't order from Steve is missing out...

:up:

[Justin B]

Some progress made today so far, rear subframe is freed from its arms, front assy is out, ds is at the shop, dimple strips are in place, and cleaning the engine bay some. Filling unused holes, grinding plastic nut studs off and removing brackets.

[Justin B]

The wave of parts this week started out with some carbon weave today. Sunroof panel showed up from Arizona. Now to get the roof to line up better with the contour, its still bent some..

[truism]

Cage is looking awesome, very nice!

[Justin B]

Thank you! I can hardly wait to paint it though, it will look so clean. I'm considering solid mounting the subframe since ive got those stud locations tied in.

[drutt23]

Mad props on the cage!! That thing looks awesome!!!!

[Justin B]

It was like christmas today at work...
Fg dash, dtm wing, 2x schroth rallye cross harnesses so I have something DOT. Also a momo hub, and my immobilizer system.

[Justin B]

A few more patches in the bay, and currently working on the vent hole patch up job...

[Justin B]

Bolted up my competition wheel to the hub I got today...quick super rough mock up before I lower the column to fit the dash between the a pillar tubes without interference. Soooomething like that 8)

[Justin B]

Lowering column...shear bolts! Fuuuu
Will probably cheat and just cut it away then rebuilt a new support to the height I want off the under dash bar.

[deutschman]

looking very good!? b fest next week!!!! faaaaa. i cant go.

[Justin B]

A few more pesky holes patched, the cowl vents. The small holes on the outsides will be filled as well. Grind down the weld, and if it's "ehhh straight enough" I'm not going to bother with filler.

[Justin B]

Where work stops today, I'm waiting for this horrendous smelling seam sealer stuff to dry enough to paint tomorrow. I hope. That means the engine goes in right after if that's the case.

[Justin B]

Well, lookin good here and now literally REALLY waoting for paint to dry...
A little over a can of primer, and just under two cans of paint. Besides not being silver, this grey is a pretty close shade to lachs. Exterior will be painted white or grey somewhere cheap..

[Justin B]

Interior is primed...what a mess. Very little over spray anyhow, and wgaf :) car its being painted my maaco or something on the outside anyway. Should paint tomorrow, and have the engine in, I hope.
