^^^^This is just s quick list off the top of my head. so im probably missing stuff.
I am looking for a real show quality build, that i can and will drive everyday.
When I first started... I stripped the car down, and got to work, welding in my cage.


Then i put down a layer(or more in some places) of Raamat


Pulled the motor

Here you can see what I started with in the engine bay, you can see the stretched metal on the strut tower, the weird divets on the CC module that I no longer have, and some other things, that look... out of place.

I will be relocating the computer inside. The battery will go to the back.
The fuses will be under the dash. I started working on that a little.
I will be deleting ABS (along with basically everything else i can) and adding LL and a PV, these will be mounted on the frame rail somewhere.
New lines will be custom bent so there out of the way.
Id like to run braided fuel lines
Got some seam welding done.



Made it this far with the interior... and then decided didnt want a black cage... (Now I want it black, but im not changing it.)


Then I ran my wiring harness through my fender. But now its going under my dash

Then I wrapped the headliner...

I also pulled the rear end, and everything else from the bottom of the car, and laid on a heavy coat of underbody coating
Oh yea... and i painted my rearend pink.




Then I cut the front part off the cage, then had to bondo, a little, and then re-paint... Though dont like the color.. Its staying.


Here is after a bit of bondo work on the pass side strut tower.
