Installed the coilovers, removed the sideskirts, installed the dash guage hood and a/c controls, changed out spark plugs, etc. Starting to look nice but still need to install the front bumper and stock fenders. Have pictures I will upload later. I did decide to go stock body as I have always had clean stock body cars plus it was too much work to salvage the kit.
I will be selling kit with brand new rear bumper soon. Pulled out of body shop because of cost them to redo and also time to complete. Plus before I paint needs to be driveable. I don't want to spend all that money to have a pretty car that can only sit in the garage. This is going to be an expensive project though.....

Well here are pics of current status...I am close to selling as my wifes van is messing up and I am most likely going to afghanistan mid next year...I know that I will not be able to finish before then..
I need a fuel pulsation dampner(leaks real good)..The scary thing is I drove about 30 miles with it like that...
O-ring for coolant fill point is no good and leaks..
support for stock bumper that mounts to radiator support..

the engine pics look like there was a small fire at one point, either that or it's just really dirty.
glad to see you're taking it back to the stock body, IMHO I would've gone 99 spec if I was spending the money, but at least you're doing it right. THANK YOU for ditching those front fenders, those are disgusting. I really hope you don't have to sell it, this car needs some love from someone who knows what it needs. Also can you give us a picture of orion blue? A buddy of mine here in town has a lemans corvette blue FD and it is sex.

orion blue metallic is used on mercedes and is a rare color....I have a bmw with a blue that is close but not quite as good...The engine shows no signs of fire it is just really dirty. I am the one who almost had a fire by pissing fuel while I drove 30 miles....I really just need to get exterior done so that it won't look so hideous....

It was in the car when I got it and the commander works fine but the trans hold light flashes and sometimes can't respond to the power...Was planning on 5spd swap but just need to get the $1000 or so together to do it..Thats gonna be a while...
