LOL, first post was from 2006. I’m not saying anything, because I’ve had my project STi since March which has been probably 1/30th of the work compared to Newman’s build, and it’s still not running. :tup: to quality. ---

Got the rear glass in the car and the package tray. Need to make some exhaust hangers ASAP so I can get the tunnel + seats in permanently. Also ordered recently: DTM Fiberwerkz CF hood (1/2 sponsored) NRG quick release hub Momo wheel hub (need to cut this down and reweld I think) Prepreg CF for firewall closeoff Flexalite 12" slim puller Stef’s Catch can I also am pretty sure I sold my old big brake kit to a local turbo E30 guy. ---

^I definitely know him lol. He was my high school technology teacher, I remember when he bought his e30 back when I was going to school. I just saw him the other day at a DITB meet, his car is super clean. He’s a great fabricator to boot. He’s one of the main reasons why I choose to go in Tech Ed for a career. ---
