So, no drive last weekend either. But we made some progress. UPS delayed one package, which meant we didn't get as much done on the interior as we'd hoped. And DSE is behind on their warranty claims supposedly, so my wiper motor is stuck in their queue. That's got the dash pulled apart.

On the good news front, TOW now has tow hooks.





I used two of these in the rear as tie downs off of the rear axle. I probably wouldn't use them as tow hooks, although in a desperate moment I suppose that I could.





Eric spent some time making a board to mount my amplifier and crossovers in the trunk, and he also carpeted the trunk. That turned out well, so we're happy with that! We stuck the stereo in to make sure it's all working, and after one minor RCA connector snafu, we had sounds. A little tuning to do there, but at least it works.

The new coil springs showed up on Thursday, so those were installed, and we set the ride height. At least for now, once everything is installed, we'll probably raise it a bit. It looks good where we have it, so we'll shoot for that as our final height.

We are down to a small list of things to wrap up, hopefully much of which will be done this week. Parts will be rolling in this week, slowly but surely, and if we're lucky, we'll have most everything for it by the weekend. There are a few things I plan to still do / change, but we'll be close for a drive.

The hooks look good.

Hopefully you're keeping in mind that just because Rob and Dave are coming to town doesn't mean you have to start disassembling the car to make them feel better...

That's the plan. I can look at a pile of parts at my house. I'm planning on seeing a running car.

Hey Eric, these boys wanna !!!

I picked up more parts from the powder coater this morning. The shaker will be on tonight. Now if DSE would just get their act together and test my wiper motor to see if it's bad or not. Grumble...

Default Shaker

Installed the shaker tonight. It took a little more clearancing by Eric on the Lokar throttle cable adjuster, but she's in there now!







I reinstalled the dash and stereo tonight. I also cut the original glove box to clear the VA evaporator and ECU, and we're going to bond a new ABS back to it so that I have have a glove box. I'm losing about 1" of depth.

A few baby steps closer!
