how i spent my 4th............

i installed my new eibach anti roll bars, front and rear.
did a little bodywork, cut strut springs.
the car is now lower , stiffer. it's a bit stiff for driving around town but i can't wait to get to the track. glad it's not my daily driver...............
also took out all carpet, radio, and console. i'm going to make a palstic piece to cover the hole.
i'm hoping to get my rollbar sometime soon. as soon as i get the rollcage in i'm going to paint the whole car.
later
robert

Did you have fun cutting those speaker covers off? Looks like you had to do the same thing I did, drilling out the spot welds.

hi paul
i used my little cut off wheel and ground down the metal until the cover just popped off. took about 20 minutes. it was easier than takeing out the carpet...........
when i put the rool cage in i'm going to add some support to the towers i think. any ideas?

Yeah, we formed a pad, within the 100 sq in. rule, that fits around the towers themselves, then welded the downtubes to the pads.. If you want to go further, put a cross bar between the two downtubes, and a diagonal brace.. Those towers won't move a bit.

You can see what we did here:
