Here is some more progress pics. Finished putting the tranny back together friday so saturday was engine trans install. Don't mind the dirty air box it was for start up purposes only. All the lights and eveything works and it started on the first try. Got the wheels and tires mounted, it will need to be lowered about an inch though. So far so good. But still alot left to do.

Thanks for all the compliments from everyone too. Car is coming together fast and i can't take all the credit. Lots of help from friends and family involved in this build.

More pics. Weekend progress was putting the doors on and installing all the guts in them. Bleed the clutch and brakes and hung the exhaust. (I'm gonna bleed the clutch again, i don't like how it feels). Glass guy should be here tuesday to put the windshield in. The rest of the front clip should be painted by next weekend so hopefully we can put that on.

Awesome work man....I'd love to see a tally of exactly how much $$$ you have invested in which areas of the car. You basically pieced together what will amount to an almost new car, yet will be registered and insured for dirt cheap. Nice work!
