    19 hours, 4 states and 851 miles later.....

    The car ran flawlessly the entire trip (although my CD player died on the way out of Shreveport which made for a long return trip of ~425 miles), didn't burn a single drop of oil, but for some reason only managed about 21-22 mpg.:)

    I left Stillwater about 1:30am on my way to Shreveport, LA. I arrived at Clay's house about 8:45am.

    Here is Restoman molesting my gas pedal. Note to the wise, if doing any patchwork/welding around the gas pedal, remove it from the base first or you will melt it into the bracket.



    That is a gray carpet you spy.......



    Clay and his lovely fiance's dog, Rosco



    And yes that is a leather fold down seat......



    As I post this I just realized I didn't get pics of the mint black leather sport seats or front door cards, so I'll have to do that this afternoon.

    I think I've made a fair amount of progress in the 6 months I've had the car, maybe not as much as some of the "balla's", but I'm happy nonetheless.

    The car the day after it was delivered to me.



    As it sat yesterday covered in 800+ miles worth of bugs and road grime. I painted my "interfooler" just for you Alpine. EDIT: I just realized the smoked signals, don't look very smoked do they....




    Now it just needs a new catback, put my new driveline in, get Luke's box, a new deck, shadowline the trim and mirrors, get the BMP brake ducts in where the fogs used to be and Phase 1 will done. Then I will start saving up for Phase 2, a 24v + S/C swap.

      Plan on removing or paint-matching the side molding?

        Haven't decided yet. I'm thinking about paint matching, but I don't know about going monochromatic on a bronzit.

          put black vinyl adhesive sticker on the bmp kit where the oem trim is supposed to be. would look titties. also, i dont think you need to go any lower, especially if you plan to go 24V, the pan hangs about an inch lower than m20. word

            I've thought about doing that on the trim before, just never got around to it. Thanks for the info on the 24V, I was about to start searching that exact question.

                It's on the list of things to do, just can't bring myself to spend $400 on an MtechII yet.

                  I told him the exact same thing. Great minds, great minds.

                      he means it has arm rests.

                          A paint matched bronzit equals no good in my book. I think black accent is the only way bronzit looks good.

                          And I feel your pain on the long drive. Last Tuesday I drove from Houston, TX to Oxnard, Ca.

                          So to fallow suit, after 29 hours, 30 minutes of sleep, and 1604 miles, I'm fuckin tired!! And I'm still tires.



                          Great progress by the way, its nice to see another bronzit coming along nicely.

                              ^Bronzit's are making a comeback!

                              At least that's what I tell myself.

                              Yeah, ski pass through, sorry for the inaccurate terminology.
