land ho!

I see you have a 2001 steering wheel, when did you get that?

Nice hood.

Rikenbomb · 08-06-2008, 02:17 AM

Nice progress dude!

I love the shift knob on top of the naked shifter.

bensenvill · 08-06-2008, 02:22 AM

oh ya, meant to comment on that. its still atx, so that knob is just on there for comidic value.

silvercup, I've had the steering wheel on for 2 years I think.

are those katzkin leather seats?

jaged · 08-06-2008, 03:10 AM

yes they are

ND4SPD · 08-06-2008, 10:53 AM

wow... the interior is actually recognizable again!

MaverickFlyer · 08-06-2008, 10:56 AM

I have the same Bluepoint Jack and stands!

When are you going to paint your hood?

bensenvill · 08-06-2008, 11:10 AM

mav, the hoods starting to grow on me.... if I ever need a paint touch-up or anything, yes it will get painted. and ya, that jack kicks some major ass, although its really useless considering the HOA gets super pissed when I work on my car outside of the garage and the garage is too narrow to actually use it.

and matt, ya thats the completed interior. I need to track down a junkyard dash support brace. I want to chop off the dash mounts but dont want to destroy my original [the car can still be reverted back to stock without too much fuss]. Also I still need to reduce the dash harness. that plastic bag laying across the 'dash' contains most of the spare wires that need to be worked out, plus theres alot that runs through the dash for other wiring thats already been removed, so that whole harness should be half to a third its current size. I do need to make a mount for the speedo to sit in but thats not too difficult.

Thats awesome man, the engine bay looks super clean. Do you plan on getting the car weighed? Im curious to see how much weight you've lost, i imagine to be a pretty substantial amount. Nice work
