now that im over my carbon monoxide poisoning, haha, i started putting stuff back into the car.

pass seat is in.
manual seat belts are both in but i need to mess with them a little more because theyre twisted.
sunvisors are in.
rear view mirror is in.
all the door seals are back on.

thats about as far as i got today, started organizing all my parts so i can get things back in faster.

was going to put the dash bar back in but i want to clean it up first because its got a bunch of surface rust.

i need to find a huge workspace so i can print out all the diagrams i need and start working on the chassis harness.

started out today sanding all the surface rust off my dash bar.
(right side done, left side not)



then painted it and threw it in the car.



then i got my rear bumper and exhaust fitted.




cleaned up the area under the fender a little.

went from this.



to this.



i know its diff sides of the car, forgot to take pics and had already put the pass fender back on.

pass seat is back in. pass door is back on and pic of the manual seatbelt.



got one of the sideskirts fit on the pass side too since i got the fender and door back on but didnt take any pics.

Nice exhaust, yellow.

havent updated this in a while.
dont really know what ive done since i last updated.

both doors are on, tailights are on, sideskirts are on, both fenders are on, did the 5 lug swap on the pass side and got both my rear wheels on, and put the chassis harness back in the car, started plugging some things in and taking all the tape and crap off so that i can de-pin what im not using.

ordered my vent dash pod, angle rings, and buddy club seat rail a couple days ago.
seat, quick release, and hub should be coming next, then the interior will be pretty much done besides little things like gauges (dont need yet) finishing up wiring, flocking the dash (maybe), sueding the door panels, and buying front speakers.

cut about half my chassis harness wires off already, waiting to take pics till im done.

got my NRG Short Hub and Quick Release yesterday.

installed my solid steering column bushing then went to put the column back onto the car so i could finish installing my hub and QR and realized that when i removed it i took it off the wrong way so now its 10x harder to put back in.

i separated the u-joints at the column instead of the rack.

got my vent gauge pod and angle rings already, still waiting on the seat bracket and should be ordering the seat monday at the latest.
