Re-assembly is underway. So for I am finding all the parts and hardware but that won't last. Trunk and harnesses are in place. Will finish interior and move forward to the engine bay.

Thanks Jacob but don't think it will that clean...wait till you see Matt Gold's build in a few months, it is going to be cleaner than a new car.
It is almost fun installing the many parts I have from the 20K mile garage queen I parted-out (partially) a few years ago.....never had a steering column with no condensate rust all over it.

Looks awesome, as expected.

Two suggestions:
tan floor mats
black seatbelt receivers

I know you got em! Splurge on yourself

In the build plan are several "slight" deviations from stock including this BAMF 4.5" tip Blitz Nur catback.

jim, my personal opinion: that exhaust doesn't fit the rest of this build in concept.

why not a racing beat dual tip or similar lower-key exhaust setup?

You are correct re the concept and I suspect I will try several exhaust systems as the build progresses .....I change direction often.
