all of the rear interior fiberglass all buttoned up.It took some time but I’m real happy with the way everything fits now, and the roll bar fit is awesome.

Its been a couple weeks since i’ve had time to do anything on the car. The coil overs are still on backorder but I did manage to get some time tonight to rebuild the vent windows. The originals were very pitted and the window runs were shot.

its funny the outside of them was fairly nice, but interior side was pitted to hell. It was very annoying because the whole time your driving they are in close view.

I was working under the hood the other day and I noticed the paint on the grille had started to chip off. So I stripped the paint off, re-polished it and I’m going to powdercoat it this week. Im glad I did because it came out much better this time.

1st time
