The FC emerges from it's lair...
So I decided to pull the FC out of the garage today for the first time since last spring. It was covered in dust from the bodywork and just sitting around, so I hosed it off and took a few pics.
I also took it for a ride, it runs and drives 100 times better than it did before. I didn't go far since I don't really trust the brakes yet (they were getting pretty soft as I pulled into the driveway) but just a few blasts around the block revealed the huge difference from before and after. Last time I drove it it ran on 1 rotor because of some wiring issues, now that's all fixed and it's so much better.

I doubt it. I started doing some bodywork (all the primer spots) There were multiple locations that were rusted completely through, and repaired with fiberglass (I know, I know...). But, if you look closely at the pics, you can see the both rockers are totally gone, and the body is pretty rough and crusty in general. After a long and painful ordeal, I've decided that the body is pretty much unrepairable, so I'm just going to concentrate on getting it mechanically sound, then buy a shell in the future and swap all the stuff from this car over to that one.
