The piece you cut off of the headlight.... What is that part for? Does it have attachment points there, or house the headlight sprayer guts? It's seems so goofy, just trying to figure out the purpose it serves.

It has a mount and it houses the sprayer guts. Since I cut it off completely I only have the top and bottom mounts for the headlights, but it's solid, the headlights don't move at all.

I don't know lol. I always have my a/c circ on since it's always feels 100° down here in florida. I did try just outside air and I still manage to get just enough to feel it. I'm not worried about it though.
Seats are off ebay, they're called "invictus race bucket seats". I just can't justify paying $700+ per seat for this car, these cost $280 for both shipped.
Thanks a lot. I just can't wait to start on my heat extractor hood to finish the frontend.

Didn't make it deep so I can still run the downpipe under it and around the frame rail back into the Y to the dual exhaust. I'm doing a single turbo now so the crossover pipe is going where the cats are.
Also finally put some fiberglass on the splitter, still needs a ton of bodywork.
Oh and got some seats to get rid of the boat anchors that are in there now. Pretty! And only 23 lbs each.

I may have to follow your example to install my dry sump oil tank.

Haha! Yes I know, I like to work bare foot and seriously never put shoes on! Next update will have my complete foot in the picture, maybe I'll get a call from Ripleys believe it or not! Lol

No updates at all unfortunately. I sold the turbos and invested my money into a scratch built awd lsx t56 car I'm building. I'm keeping the V the way it is, since it's my DD. Only thing I'm doing is getting rid of that horrible plastidip and wrapping it black brushed, it looks like stainless steel but black. I just ordered it last week so it should be here soon, then I'll wrap it and I'm done with the car for now.
This is where all my money is going..

Also with 2 kids and other projects going on, not just car stuff.. it's going to take a while for me to finish it.
