It had plans to be there, just as a project. Well since the rain ruined our plans now.
Hopefully we get the floorpans installed before the Nov Rental, then i can get the exhaust installed 3" all the way back, seats will then get mounted and then maybe have the cage in it by then.
Funds have ran out a bit, so its digging to try and get alittle bit done at a time.

Yea that is needed too.
May use Torque Tech system with Borla, Magnaflow, or Dynomax.
3" fron to back or we may use their Tailpipes and just make our own front kit.
Not sure yet.
Gotta get the floors done first and then exhaust.

Very nice build..
I see that you used bottle jacks to raise the car up at the rockers to paint the chasis..
Did you also replace the chasis\body bushings?
If so..Did you have any problems or advise after tackling this? I should replace mine as well since its a 23+ year old car..But reluctant to do so in the garage..
Any advise based on your experience would be appreciated..
Thanks,
Matt

I did mine in the driveway with a floorjack and some wood 4x4's. My car is a clean southern car though no rust. FWIW

Well We Got insurance on the car today. Thursday it will get QQ Plates.
We installed new polished alum B&M Trans Pan that doesn't leak like the TCI pan did.
We installed Spohn 1 5/16 Front Sway Bar -- What a diffrence in the feel of the front of the car.
Car will get alignment, scaled, pinion angle set, adjust suspension all on Thursday --- so we can take it out for a drive on Saturday or Sunday.
