Very nice work. The car looks great except for the paint on the seals but that shouldn't be too hard to remove. You should come to Cinci and check out my 10th AE. I may sell mine to buy another car.

You guys should come up here this weekend
https://www.rx7club.com/midwest-rx-7-forum-32/woodward-dream-cruise-8-15-2009-pontiac-mi-854923/

Beautiful 10AEs. I think my next FC will be a 10AE, I love S4s and since the 10AE is basically the pinnacle of S4s, it just makes sense.

thanks guys! i would really love to get the seats reupholstered to factory specs. they're dragging down the interior. i have a new oem shift ****/boot to install and do need a new stereo surround. my original plan was to try and install an oem stereo but all the wiring for it was gone..thus i had to resort to the aftermarket unit. i guess if i installed a small hidden amp i could power the oem radio and send sound to the speakers that i have in the car....i dunno though..i'd be installing an aftermarket amp which i dont want to do. trying to find a set of oem TII mufflers for the car as well. scarce as hens teeth i'm guessing..

well, i replaced quite a few nasty looking bolts in the engine bay with nice oem cadmium plated bolts i had laying around. i also installed the lower battery box (i don't have a lid), the battery hold down, and tossed in the oem floor mats. next, i want to replace the exhaust system with an oe unit. its just rotten..

about the only thing i was able to get done today was the installation of the aluminum undertray. i removed the front lip and am attempting to clean the oversprayed white paint off of it. here's the undertray installed:
