Glove box striker modified, Rollbar installed (will need to remove to install the rest of the interior), it was bit of a jigsaw puzzle, but it's in, and started figuring out how the Sparcos will fit and be setup.

 

The Sparcos are super tight and the stock rails will not work. Will have to modify the door panels for sure and maybe the kick plate, seat belt buckle will be an interesting one too. The seats will have to be solid mounted, I will need to find an alternative seat belt bucket (which I have an idea were I'm going to get it from ) and my knee still hits the steering wheel when do a heel-toe operation , I'm thinking the Nardi wheel will need to be made into a D wheel later this year.

 

that sucks! you cant make a custom sliding unit or one that will move the seat closer to the shift tunnel? D wheel is a good idea but it'll probably be a lil funky for daily driving

 

No room and it would place the seat to high. But after some thought, I'm going to hold off on putting these seats in and get the car done before the end of this month so the guys Apex Restoration can get their shop space back. I need to put some though into the seat mounts and seat belt arangement anyways.

The pictures I've attached that shows the side blinkers in action really don't do it justice. It looks way better in person.

Peace

 

While I was finishing buttoning up the engine bay, I went ahead and added check valve bypass filters to the BOVs on the currently non-utilized pop-off fittings. Don't want contaminants to get in there.

Got my rear Tein EDFC stepper motors in, it's going to be a tight fit with the cage, but it will fit.

Front bumper is on and starting the process of painting the sleek headlight lens, once I get a contour I like finished.

 

Got some stereo equipment yesterday; JL Audio A4300 four channel amp, 5.5 inch Focal speakers, Focal tweeters and a 10 inch MTX Thunder 5500 sub that was a gift from Bobby (Thanks Bobby). Will be making a custom sub box in the now unused spare tire wheel; same with the amp. May also have my water injection tank in the spare tire well as well, but will have to make sure everything is properly sealed.

Peace

 

John (cartapex) came up with a good idea of doing a vinyl cover instead of painting the head light lens. That way I can change it if I don't like the shape of it and I change up the color if black isn't doing it for me. Sanded and buffed the lens to improve the clarity and it worked. The lens did not exactly have smooth surfaces.

Started to install the hood pins, will have to drill the hood....may have to wait for cut and buff. Need to talk to Leo.

 

Hood pin setup finished

 

Ahh hahahahahahaha...drove it for the fist time down the street and back! Man it felt good.

Final paint repair today, stereo wire routing and start the final interior install.

 

^Can anybody see/view the pictures above? ^

Okay then, here's the photos from above that didn't go through for some reason.

 

Doh! What, did I reach my limit on thread size?

^That F'n Sucks!

Progress report:

First initial cute and buff done, stereo is being installed and doors being trimmed. Since I need to be out of the shop by the end of this month I went ahead a just added filters for the turbos for a temporary setup. Will be making an air box and the cooling system ducting. All those items will be made outta CF.

Since I've been having a photo upload problem, I took DeclareWar's advise.

Peace

 

WOW! Great Build up! Great job! I've been following this thread for over a year and wow, I wish I had the time, and the money and the skillz to do a build up like this! Congratulations!
I gotta see it in person sometime...

 

Looks sweet Adam ! Happy belated

 

So close, just need fab up a primary turbo intake, finish the interior install, Vinyl the headlight cover, install the diffuser after painting it with chip guard and getting the PFC the work. Yeah

 

Clear Bra is being put on today - Thanks Apex Restoration!

 

Headlight covers made from vinyl, like the shape but it looks okay. Since my passenger lens is starting to crack, I will be getting new ones and maybe go back to the tried and true painting method. Maybe

 

WOW.
that looks AMAZING.
good job

 

Thanks

Also finished the temporary air filter setup.

 

Well she's a runner, did my first 100 miles today on the stock ecu. One small issue that scared the **** out of me, but all is well now.

"Cough"

Differential bolt feel out....I didn't install it, but should have check the bolts anyways. Pic's and video's to come.

 

Thats exactly why I didnt log my 200 hours on your car! Of course something like that would happen to me IF it had been me. Shout out to Bobbo!!
