Well our shop situation fell through. Euro will be totally scrapped now, me and IronFreak tore all suspension off of it this weekend. It will be getting chopped up in the next weekish.
Once school is out it's full speed ahead on the red car though.. Plans have changed again but it's for a sooner completion date and less monies.. Expect some updates in May!

-APEX ARC-8 17x9.5" w/ 275/40 R888s (pending flare arrival)
-Full Zinnoberrot Respray

My Recaro SPGs with VAC mounts are on their way here. 2 months until my M flares, M skirts and fiberglass hood come from Czech. I swapped spots in the garage as well. The euro is now sitting outside while I get some stuff done on the new track car before shop move in happens.
Regarding zinno shell; the plan remains almost the same as the euro.

Here is what I'm dealing with in comparison to the rust/damage on the euro shell. I believe the car had some sort of incident on the drivers quarter and the repair was crap.. I started cracking bondo two years ago when I was flaring it. When I started cracking bondo a deer happened to run into the passenger quarter, hence all the dents and damage. The flares will cover most damage/repair work up and I'll use the bronzit doors, so it's not as bad as it seems.
I got the sound deadening out and started to pull the harness and then took a knotted wheel to all the seam sealer to prep the seams to be stitch welded.
Up next is to pull out the wiring harness and hopefully get the whole interior knotted and stripped down before moving the car to it's new garage.
I'm glad that this one will be built for track instead of the euro. Me and her have history.
Got it on the ground today! Next is to stuff it full of stuff that needs to be transported to the shop and then not much else to do until we get moved into the shop.
