updates finished getting the front spot welded back in today and its coming up great was going to get it blasted again but decided to work with this as a base while the strut skirts were removed we smoothed out any unwanted defects took a few hours to get it to here

update got the shell to a mates shop to get some of the pannel work done had a rather large talk about the bay decided that the sheet metal was rough due to previous repairs so then this happened

 

bought another low km shell for new strut skirts so they will now be replaced

so i decided to move my coils off the engine and into the plenum to cover up the coils i got a plenum cover off lowe fabrications a while ago finall test fitted it

 

 

 

also striped the shell bare and sent it to the blasters to get engine bay and the outside of the windscreens cleaned up

and got my diff back from media blasting aswell came up pretty good

 

 

fogot to add this to the thread start i was playing around with a shift light idea i disassembled my steering coloum to solid mount my shift light if you haven’t seen these gizzmo shift lights before there such a sweet piece of gear carbon fiber super light and don’t take up much space perfect for where i want to put it. i also polished my steering coloum the visible portion anyway came up pretty nice :D.

updates

built a trolley to keep the car mobile for the minute also striped the front end and did some work on my nine inch setup today im not running tubs or a hugely modified rear end due to engineering but ive shortened it 1.5 inches (each side) and cleaned up my factory tubs which means i can fit a 19X9″ rim and possibly a 275 tyre i spent most of the day today cleaning up my diff housing i also boxed up my lower control arms to hopefully make it a bit more rigid up back
