  • Oh hey, haven't updated in awhile--not that there's much to update--but I've been too busy graduating college and stuff.

    The Aero is now completely stripped and off to the crusher. I have a few things in the works that will make my suspension swap to the Anny much better and more reliable, and I'll share those when I make more progress later this summer. Wheel adapters should be here at the end of this week (while I'm at Carlisle, go figure :p )

    I finished my interior swap last week, and am very pleased with the results. Ditched the passenger airbag for a glovebox from an earlier 9k. And man, I missed my Aero seats so badly. **Don't worry, the door cards have been swapped too, just forgot to take more photos afterward**




    I also managed to pick up another Ferrari bit from Craigslist, this time a steering wheel from a Dino. Got a pretty nice deal on it, and since I already had the wheels, I figured it made sense, so why not?

    • Had an awesome weekend at the Import & Kit Nationals in Carlisle. I really should have brought my car, but I didn't feel it was ready yet, as I haven't really done much swapping of parts besides the interior. Seeing such awesome cars did give me huge motivation to dive in headfirst and get work done on the Anny.

      So I scored a few things from the swap meet:

      Almost-new K&N filter, Ground Control adjustable camber plates which I will be modifying, a big-a$$ intercooler, and an awesome like-new vintage radar/laser detector, which will be hardwired and stealth-installed.

      And when I got home, these were waiting for me:


      Should have a whole buttload of progress within a month or so!
