Digging the progress

So I got my seats and some bodywork done at bubbletech.
My rear fenders aren't as knifey as before.
Recaros are back!
Swapping the seats gave me a good opportunity to rip up the front carpet and check for mold or mildew (which there was) from some water that spilled from the AC drain hose that wasn't secured correctly before. Hence the ripped up carpet and paper towels.
Next step was to remove some interior panels for the installation of a new rear 1/4 panel or save some labor and to save broken tabs!
By now it wasn't to late and the FD dissecting party was coming to a close. Everyone felt pretty damn good about themselves and the night was young. I also just happened to have a new 3rd party carpet that accidently came to my address (was going to install it in the future). Well, I guess you can guess what happened next and you can guess that it took longer than anyone thought.
What are friends for if not to exploit and use as slaves and cheap labor!
Vroom vrooom
99 spec bumper. Shhhhh.
Check out all this dirt! I also managed to find almost a buck worth of change down here. Better than finding used condoms (right duls?).
Thank you Polak Graphics (buy stuff!), Andy X and David.

So a bunch of people asked me to update this thread for a while but honestly, nothing has been happening with the car. I finally decided to post when I started watching my backlog of movies and realized I'd rather revel in my automotive misery than watch Resident Evil: Retribution, which is terrible btw. I don't know why I'm surprised because all the other ones were just so bad. Zombies shouldn't be able to run. It's total bullshit. O **** now Michelle Rodriguez is fucked. Anyway, as usual for a NJ bodyshop, a 2 - 3 week project (max) has so far taken more than 3 months which is just fantastic. I visisted the shop once in a while to check for progress. After about a month and a half, the shop finally started doing some work.
Hey not bad right??
A month after that passes by and bam we have more updates.
Hmmm weird I don't like that the car is left outside after primering but hey what do I know.
Check out this rear. Primer overspray?
Wow this movie is bad. Anyway, so that's pretty much the update. Sorry that kind of sucked. Well I guess I can post up some other interesting pics.
This is my FD when I picked up my 99 spec bumper from my man Dennis.
This is from Hurrican Sandy. Our underground garage downstairs was in danger of being flooded so this poor Lambo owner had to park upstairs. THE HUMANITY...
He had to get the car jump started. Haaaa.
This was some weird Hitler statue I found while somewhere in NJ. It scared the crap out of me.
This is a terrible movie. I think I'm going to go to bed. I enjoyed Twilight much more. In case you haven't seen it, here is a review that helped some people out.
Soooo I just saw Twilight. I recommend it to everyone. Movies like this don't come out ever. I'm going to change tenses now because the movie still lives in me and will live on forever. It is truly a tour de crap. It is hilariously bad and over serious. Please watch it. I felt terrible for all the actors. It looked like they were high in all the scenes to forget the pain of being in the movie. Taylor Lautner gave the best performance in the movie and I think it's because he has no shame. The movie also featured the most awkward looking CG character I have ever seen. It wasn't uncanny valley awkward. I can't describe it. It's what would happen if you asked a 5 year old to draw a girl and then paid millions for the best CG artists to bring it to life. A great parallel to the movie series. Wow how deep. I've never seen a movie that combined the worst parts of so many other lesser movies to truly become larger than the sum of its terrible parts, sort of like mixing Coke and Mentos.
For people who haven't seen...
We fell in love so fast (ultra slow motion coke-mentos experiment) on Vimeo
This was the Usain Bolt of terrible movies. Every minute of the movie that passed by was like a long, effortless stride of crap. It was almost as if the creators of the Twilight series made the movie to make fun of all the fans. Even though I never liked the Twilight series I felt really bad for the fans that waited so long for the end.
No joke fellas, watch the movie.
