home:

added skyline seats and new carpet:

put the redlines on (middle piece was broken in the mail):

painless wiring and my own descriptions lol:

replace rear suspension:

time to get rid of that stock bumper:

much better:

stitch weld that front end:

time to fit those 15X10's under there:

new hood:

paint those vents:

add rear wing:

project #1 instead of thr rubber bushings you get with shocks, I used the set of polyurethane bushings that were for my front sway bar for more stiffness ( i installed a whiteline sway on the front instead of using the stock sway bar) I was suprised - no noise or squeaking...

project #2 I had to tap the intake to run my new oil catch can

remove sound deadning - the dry ice trick is the cat's meow...

time to cage it:

and paint

yeah...

shifter

hood pins

project #3 time to fabricate my own seat bracket for my sparco - took about 20 frustrating hrs and 80 dollars in flat metal from home depot (half of which i threw away or ruined) but I came out with this design where its the lowest i can lower a seat, and slightly over to the right of the rollbar to fit my seat with no rubbing issues, and it uses 6 of the stock bolt positions!!! the 4 stock bolts and the 2 seat belt locations! This sucker ain't moving!
