Long winter

Did so much this winter!

Seatbelt replacement with blue belts and carpeted interior (factory carpet only went up to aluminum stripe you see in the middle of carpet) and changed the door cards from cream to black



While interior was tore out for seatbelt replace, sound matted and sound foamed rear firewall and floor in anticipation of decat pipe. Damn it’s loud! 🤟

Also had all plastic on outside of car gloss piano black painted, added black rear diffuser, new 5 spoke sick ass wheels (silver on black barrels to show less brake dust)



Lots more you can’t see. Stainless steel brake lines, new brake pads, sandwich plate delete, etc, etc.

The thing is ridiculous, I realize. But damn it brings me so much joy!






Dig the Blue Meanie in the rear window! 🤟

He has the 'unpainted' one that looks like graphite, iirc he bought it around 2012-ish. Badass little ride, he takes it to the track, doesn't 'drive it' much. But he has other sweet rides for daily use.

Things way too small for a 6'5" 250lb dude. I just looked inside and I'm like ... nope!

He told me basically if he damaged the body in an accident it's basically unfixable

Yours is much more badass-looking than his

No, it’s fixable. It’s just that most insurance companies just total them if there is serious fiberglass damage instead of replacing the clam shell and having it repainted.

Hope you doing well bradda!

But I do appreciate good automotive work.

Very nicely done!
