Well I haven't posted since October but I have been working on the car. Put the 5 speed in along with the IE SS Exhaust and everything underneath is tight. Have the motor in, need to finish the wiring and the SS brakelines. Brakelines need to be tweaked, but shouldn't be an issue. Had Matt over at Ronin Autowerks curve my distributor, great service and a great guy to deal with, so I can't wait to fire it up. Interior is almost complete, pulled the dash so I could route my wires easier, and got the rug and Coco mats in. hopefully next post I'll be driving it.

what did you use to paint the under body and wheel wells?

[Joser]

Wurth Stone Guard Spray in Grey. Cool stuff comes in cans took me 6 cans for complete coverage. Bought it directly from Wurth over the phone.

did it come in a spray can or did you use a spray gun and mix it yourself?

I need to do this soon!

What's the phone number?

[Joser]

Spray Can, no mixing just make sure surface is clean. Here's the link, it's in the catalog section under body shop.

Ok so I need to get a couple of tweaks done, get the bumpers rechromed and get it to the DMV for check, but it runs strong and feels great. Here are some pics.

Amazing looking car man! Where did you get your carpet, and interior panels/ seats from?

-Andrew Poon

[Joser]

Carpet came from Al at Seams Perfect, Door Panels and Seats were done in a shop down in San Diego.

[BLUNT]

wow you work fast. amazing job. really nice attention to detail. im right behind you and should be driving real soon

[Poon]

Was the carpet hard to install?

Btw, nice floor mats too!

[Joser]

Thanks Blunt, yeah I did a lot of steps over because I didn't like the way it looked or fit the first time, including the headliner.

[Joser]

Artistic, carpet wasn't hard, Al did a great job when it was made. Glued right in. Floor Mats are from Cocomats.com, expensive but definitely worth it.
