Thumbs up to Gringo for even offering that.

Keep it up stevensimon! She's headed in the right direction.

 

wow electrical problems are the worst I hate them. Glad you can deal with them makes life easier! car looks good for being put together from a roller!

 

got the stereo in too. put no doubts first album half way in the player so i could take a cool pic and it sucked the disk in. the eject button doesnt work. lol... i liked that album.

also, my stupid glove box latch fell off. broke the glove box lid in half to fix the latch. used some model glue on all the joints to try and put it back together. hoping it works. going to be tough finding a rhd lid in the states.

 

Finally matching seats and my glove box fix seems to have worked.



Anyone have a strut tower cover? I bought one but it was for the wrong side...

 

Steve-

I have a few. PM me. I might also have some extra glove box pieces. If you pay for shipping I'll just send you the piece to make up for the break pin snafu.

 

dang! looks like a good start so far! good luck on the rest of the build

 

Traded my buddy wheels. These need work but better size and offset. Probably strip the chrome, polish the lips and powder the center.

 

Nice build , nice to see its in good hands

 

Steve-

Did you get the strut tower cover and more importantly did I send the correct side?

 

yep just showed up today and i ran straight to the garage to put it on!

its even still dusty.
thanks again!

 

its time...

 

yaya complete hatch

 

Show me a picture of that sexy strut tower cover.

 

look greats!! congrats!

 

ive never seen anything like it! is that stereo set up stock?

 

its the bose system that came in the touring models. it was also one of the first thing 'tuners' trashed after they bought the car so you dont see many around these days.

 

parts still slowly making their way to the car

I wish I had the Bose set up on my car as well

 

 

cutting it close?

 

Scary close

 

yeah i know.. i followed the pineapple template and thats where it stuck me. i didnt like it. thought about it. went with it anyway.

 

If you've got any extra plates I'd do it over. You'll probably be fine but if I had that in my car I'd always be worrying. Just don't give everyone one more reason to complain about reliability.

On the plus side, you don't have to worry about the bridge breaking.

 

I agree. If it fails, is on me.
