Posted earlier in the thread, but here it is again. [http://www.rit.edu/~brs3567/sideways.avi](http://www.rit.edu/~brs3567/sideways.avi) That was the first time I drove the car. In the rain with no front bumper, no wipers, no exhaust, no interior at all, no gauges, still did a fuckin burnout and slid it a bit. ---

It lives…mpd took a few photos of it on the way back to Rochester. I’ve done a few small things with it, but the basic plan goes something like this: Get the repaired gauge cluster back, hook up all the stock gauges and hopefully everything works. Get the shifter boot situation worked out and finish putting in my interior for the _final_ time. Have Dan (juicedz4) build me some sweet radiator ducting. Maybe replace the diff bushings. Figure out something for paint. Fucked if I know what though… Oh yeah, and get a new plate frame. :lol: ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3112/2398448115_938ee16e36_b.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3112/2398448115_938ee16e36_b.jpg) ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3119/2399278580_7d83868576_b.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3119/2399278580_7d83868576_b.jpg) ---

Thanks for the compliments. No spoiler is definitely the way to go. I just need to get some caps and paint them body color. Maybe someday get the holes properly patched, but that will work for now. Since I’ll be out of town Apr 16-20, I’ll probably just drop it off and if you have time, great, if not…oh well. :tspray: ---

You should take it out for a spin sometime, or tag along for a ride. It definitely feels “right” once you’re in it! ---
