i still need to get mesh grill.
i have tiny sample of this and quality is pretty good, nice and thick




or
this



i just cable tied plate to front reinforcement bar for now.

i just hold onto the idea of mounting plate, i just zip tied to reinforcement bar.


received fuel door and this is how it looks, i might leave it or paint it white.



used to have double din but now back to single din but i had to mold in another single din kit.
didn't feel like to hunt around for another european radio bezel.





and making speaker pod

still more sanding is required and pod will be wrapped in black suede.

well.........every time i see my car, i feel like to uninstall FSWERKS turbo kit and get TOPSPEED.
nothing wrong with FSWERKS kit, i kinda do not like the look through hood vent cuts.

looks like i am talking to myself..

anyway..



metal strip is riveted, will get some seam sealer and paint this area rubberised undercoating or bed armour.



fiberglassed





reshaped stock fender moulding on driver side to repel water



this is how my rear sits.


and this is with 10mm washers for testing.

Get a shorty header to change the look to a nicer manifold. Won't do anything but increase spool

looks good, I'm guessing the gap by the fuel door will be glassed?

fiberglass-ed and body filler-ed.




sprayed foam to seal airtight.






this sickspeed replaces my train horns, exact same copy of hella supertone.

Talk to randy about it. Your warranty is only good for 1 year, which i believe you are at now anyways tho.

this subwoofer enclosure is .5cu ft.


so i raised up a bit to make .75cu ft. i might go with smaller subwoofer if i am not satisfy with it. i do not want to lose hatch space.





things are not done. only thing visible will be subwoofer when i get it finished.

speaker pods and wrapped using suede.

will be cool to see it done

painting won't be done until next year when i get my tax return..sux but what can i do..

Saw this and thought of you. You're halfway there right?

lot of bad things happened recently.

etest failed with cat converter in downpipe.

my tubular lca failed few hours ago. i put less than 1000 km with it.
i am going back to stock lca.

i did not hit anything, i felt nothing and no noise when this happened.

just tire was rubbing against fender when braking..

see a lot of tubular LCAs failing at the welds... is that where yours went as well?

Can't wait to see this car painted and finished... 32 pages, and still an interesting read....
