Ready for the body shop Spent about 3hrs today pulling the rest of the crap out the car, draining fluids, pulling the motor, tranny, and fuel system.
It was def hot as **** till we assembled our lil tent/canopy.
Here are some pics on how the car currently stands now.
this is what we worked in... man it helped
The car hits up the trailor tomorrow and goes to the paint/body shop in which the car will be sprayed w/ a Nice Atlas Grey Metallic (porsche Colour)
SHOULD be done in 3-1/2 to 4 weeks... Finally good progress today.

7th picture: are those shorts made out of duct tape?!
Looks like a fun project. I've got a similar canopy and it's the ONLY way to work down here during the summer.

Tyler, that's pretty damn cool.
That color is one of my new favorites! We saw a brand new 997 Turbo at the dealer today in that exact color. It looks ******* SICK in person.
I can't wait to see that bitch finished. You going to iForged that thing out or what?
