Those seats look huge. What do you have them mounted on? Drop em down.

Car looks good btw.

It looked better the day you got the car. Really not a big fan of the blue rims and green calipers, but hey, it's your car, the most important is that you like it the way it is.

We need moar people like this on the internet haha

I like them both just as much.. Although the baby blue wheels throw a lot of head turns the silver kept it classy.

Just needed to switch it up I get bored quick..

Have you rebuilt your shifted? Some of the boots/bushings are probably shot. You probably have old/not enough/no turret oil in there as well.

I would do that before you worry about your clutch.

Car looks great, I love the picture you have as your avatar. Great shot.

I ripped a part the turret last fall, it needed some help to say the least. Thanks for the reminder I almost forgot. Turret oil was topped off, figured it was the least I could help it lol

Thanks!

Alright update, fully tucked, kept AC and Heat. Yes I did a lot of extra work, but in my opinion it is well worth it, plus if I am not mistaken I am the first to fully tuck, while keeping AC and Heat. Literally still have everything electrical.(and only extending two plugs a 2 pin and 4 pin)

Dash is going back in right now, connecting everything getting ready to fire this bad boy up, start smoothing soon, and I'm down to wet sanding my bumper and fender, then the first stage of prep for paint will be done.

Disconnected the plugs in the fuse box, then pulled the harness connected to the trans/battery through the firewall and re routed it through a stealthy location from the inside of the firewall.

Decided I'm keeping the bay black when I do a color change, I kind of like the look of it.

Well it's been quite some time, I finally got to roll my fenders today. There has been a lot of unexpected things that have come up between when this began and it's finally getting closer.
