No pics today. But the car is back from the paint shop and is ready to start putting back together

Today we got the front cradle all torn apart ready for cleaning/painting and all new poly bushings. Hopefully my motor mounts come in this week and we can through the motor in aswell

Looking good man!
I dig the high fleck plaint in the engine bay. My old man had a speedboat circa 1985 in the same colour.
Looks baller man.

I'll have to swing by NMS this summer to check it out.
