Epic.. Can't wait to see some grocery in that beast

Thanks, man. It feels good to be making measurable progress.
More updates to follow as I get things done that are worth talking about.


In the mean time, does anyone have any suggestions on sideskirts?

Small update -

I was able to get my hands on a Voltex type H2S wing last week. This is a hatch mounted wing for a GR. The mounts are a little too wide set for the GG hatch, so I'll have to think about a design that will work. It's just slapped on there with painters tape in these photos.







I also picked up a set of pistons and have Pauter X-beam rods on the way. I'll post a more detailed list of the motor build at a later time.

It's been a productive couple of months since the last time I made an update here.

Most importantly, I purchased my first house and even more importantly than that - I've got a shop now. Having a dedicated space to work in has made this much more enjoyable, at least for now.





Shop dog approved.



I decided that while I was moving, it would be a good opportunity to have the roll cage fabricated in the car. I'm very pleased with how it came out. While the car was at the fab shop, I ordered and had a new OEM non-sunroof roof skin installed on the car.









Lately I've been spending time in the garage scuffing the car up and getting it ready to go out for body work and paint in the spring. Like almost everything so far, I have no idea what I'm doing, so I spend most of my time drinking beer and getting covered in dust. I find more door dings and dents than I ever knew existed the more of the car I get scuffed up. It's like a scavenger hunt, but way shittier.





Still no end in sight.

Holy fuck those headers look amazing.

Yeah, they came out great.

Nice exhaust system, sexy curves. Love this build, keep it up man. You must be anxious to get back on the road. Hell, hearing her run again!!

I am ready. It's been over two years already - no idea how much longer to complete it. One day at a time!

I picked up the car yesterday from Speedfactory. Here are some photos of the completed exhaust set up.













I'm disassembling everything now and preparing the car for roll cage, harness bar, new roof skin and spec c roof vent in the next month or so.
