No issues at all! I've put it through it's paces and it hasn't cracked or shown any sign of failing.

Awesome! I'm keen to do the same to my car. I'm hoping as I write this you're busy writing a fantastic update ;)

No update makes me sad.

I suppose it's time to update. Life got in the way and I have been neglecting Calypso. I had so many plans and ambitions towards my car and then ran out of time. That's one thing I took for granted in high school. My car's current state is bad. It's the culmination of a couple years of daily driving and sitting. All of this while being very unreliable due to me never fully getting it put back together. Regardless, I'm finishing it correctly this time. I'll mostly be working on it during the weekends from now on and making updates as I go. Here's some cringe photos of it's current state.

More backstory:

I started taking the car apart at the end of November ish. It then started to rain a lot and I ended up not being able to finish. That's why all the trim and wheels are taken off. As far as the engine bay and front end, I started taking that off today in prep for an engine pull.

Next steps - Engine out, dash out, fuse box relocation, engine bay paint, engine refresh, engine back in, car painted, top replaced, seats recovered/replaced.
