7/27 Update!

Must say, at this moment she looks more like a part out car than a racecar, but it's really exciting to see how far it's progressed.


Interior shot. So much room for activities! That said, it won't be long until this space is filled with a bunch of tubing!




When you go on a diet, every little bit adds up. There are so many mounting tabs and miscellaneous brackets that will no longer be used. Just from removing these small bit, the box of these pieces must have weighed 10-15lbs.



The gray/tan areas on the floor are where the factory sound deadening tar sat. All together, the tar alone weighed in at 17lbs.

A/C has been removed. New CSF radiator, low temp oil thermostat and more efficiently designed custom chargepipe (since no a/c, can route cp directly to the FMIC) are next on the underhood list.


Raw tubing has arrived and will start taking shape next week.

Where'd my stereo and A/C go?!
