It's been a while, so now it's time for an update :)

Image
INDICATORS THAT WORK!

Image
Vielside wing. i didn't like it till i saw it with the twin exhaust setup. (pic coming soon)

Image
Facelift lights are in, and wired. just one more step to legality

Image
New half polished plenum with samco radiator hoses and ghay sticker on the left suspension tower.

Image
RED DOORS ARE GONE!!!!!

Image
Most of the red has been removed. the stuff left is cracked and hopeless. yes i know i'm missing a tweeter out of the passenger door

Image
scuff plates the illuminate, not yet connected


What else has happened.

-Manual Guague cluster
-Almost complete removal of red crap
-Front bumper has come off muliple times, and found out my bumper is being held on by 2 bolts...or for a better world, cable ties and tape...
-HID's being installed soon, hopefully before thursday's cruise
-replacement brake master cylinder ready to be installed. brake pedal is way too spongy . new brakes and had 3 different people bleed them...
-Apparent vacuum leak causing bad idle
-Had the indicators and tail lights go due to a relay that buggered.
Image
FIXED

That's all for the meantime. in the near future, timing belt, water pump, fuel filter and all the important things to be replaced including a tuneup.

Also, some other pics from when i ripped everything out of the interior

Quick question guise,

just replaced clutch slave and bled, and in the process of replacing the whole dash.

saving up some money for a service, timing belt etc.

i want the motor to come out, as I'd like to do something similar to what shenal has done with his motor, to make it look all new and good.

whist the motor is out, what would be recommended. I'm thinking timing belt, fuel filter, water pump, sparks, and I've drawn a blank.

anything else that would be recommended to get my motor up to close to 100%?

1. Timing Belt
2. Fuel Filter
3. Water Pump
4. New Spark Plugs
5.
6.
7.

and @dan, replaced relay. that break in the circuit was the problem. how that happened, f**k me
