Ok Ty, here are the pics!!!!Spent a few hours Sunday on the rear of the car. When I threw the car together last time , the deck lid fit like crap. FActory hinges would not allow it go down far enough, and the light weight of the carbon would not press down the seal.So I ended up with horrible gaps and a deck lid that sat a 1/4" above the quarters. SO I blew the car apart made some cuts and mode on the hinges, a little welding, some mods and we are back in business with nice gaps, and bests of all a deck lid that fits flush with the quarters with the seal installed. Now to get the spoiler back installed and sitting pretty.

As far as the front of the car Josh and I spent a few hours last night blowing it apart for the respray. Got it all apart and laying all over the shop. Paint will be here tomorrow and we will start spraying everything Matte Black. Tonight I will get the DSE firewall panel installed, and ready to spray. Along with starting the daunting task of prepping everything to be painted.




Start of the night



End of the night, time for bed

Slowly making progress. But starting to see a glimpse of light at the end of this journey. Been sitting over two years in storage so finally happy to see it coming back together. FEw things left to do, order driveshaft, decide which accessory setup for motor, and then touch up some issues on what was perfect paint from sitting in the garage the last two years. VEry happy with the outcome. The idea of painting everything under hood Satin black, installing DSE filler panel, and a set of Anvil Carbon inner fenders really changed the look under the hood. Happy with my decision even though it took a good bit of work to get it done.

Want to send a special thanks out to Scott Main at Formula 43 for all is help on the wheels for the car. Great folks and a great product. Honestly one of the lightest wheels I have ever held. Wrapped em in a set of 255/35/18 and 335/30/18 Toyo R888

Getting closer!!! Everything is just about wrapped up and ready to go back on the road. Still need to order a driveshaft and do some a little odds and ends. But finally after 2 years, I should get to hear it run again!!
