Thanks folks! Got the spoiler back from paint and reinstalled it today too. A whole $200 investment! Started cleaning the door jams and other weird places too. Been using Meguiars Waterless Wash and Wax. It works great! Have to feed the wiring for the third brake light through still. That'll be exciting.

Been a monthish Got caught in a heavy down pour and soaked the air filter. Kept having surging issues after that and the car just ran like complete shit. Figured it was fuel pump time and a new air filter. Still had issues after that so I cleaned the MAF and replaced O2s. Issue was fixed after that and all the power was back. Yay Then it was time to work on fixing all the little bugaboos. I finally FINALLY fixed the damn exhaust, but I've ordered a new setup now. It'll be nice and shiny. The spoiler is getting painted finally. I reinstalled my fog lights and fixed the lighting issue with the taillights. Lastly ive removed all the glue residue off the windshield and rear window from vinyls. The last pic is just a comparison to what they looked like before.

Spring is here! Got the car out Tuesday. Filled up with some fresh gas.
Worked on my engine bay some more. It's a lot better than what it was last year. 
Went out to Woodward Tuesday and the exhaust was scraping on the way home. Hopefully this fixes it for the 8th time.

Didn't notice it until Wednesday when I was under the hood cleaning! I plan on doing the wire tuck mod in the coming weeks. Car rides great with the koni orange shocks!

The drivers side was worse. From what the Internet told me, it's really the passenger side that gets it the worst. Regardless, I wire brushed it down and painted.Originally posted by DynoDave View Post

Test fitted some wheels I'm basically getting for free. Just going to use them as spares.

Sealing up those little areas of rust now will make a big difference in the future. Good on you for taking the time to address it now.Leave a comment:

Been awhile, happy new year. New year new parts.
Decided to upgrade the shocks from the kyb agx to koni oranges. I also added strano springs powdercoated pinky.
Rear lower control arms are also installed and relocation brackets.
I then moved to the front. Had some minor rust up at the mount that I cleaned up and professionally repainted
Painted the control arm bracket
Shock assembled
Spring difference
I also bought a founders adjustable torque arm.Leave a comment:

I'm attempting to make my own brackets, I'll know if they work tomorrow. If they don't I'll be bolting the stock bracket to the seatLeave a comment:

Ive "heard" the best way to mount an aftermarket seat is to use stock sliders from a manual adjust seat and bolt them directly to the aftermarket seat. I fabricated my own brackets, the ones you can get on summit would have had my head sticking through the ttopsLeave a comment:

Thought I'd give an update.
Car is running good. It was acting really weird the other day but seems to be fine now.
Attempting to mount an aftermarket seat and having a full time with that. Will be putting the car away shortly and tearing apart to fix an oil leak I haveLeave a comment:
