Got my black interior pieces. I will be installing it this coming week. Plus window tint, exhaust, and I will be starting to install a sound system.
My favorite part about this new purchase, was the price.....$175 for everything you see plus more!

All it needs now is headlights and a new paint job and it will be a new car!

Cool but can I suggest one thing?

Go with 960 tail lights instead of the 740 tail lights. I think the 960 ones look alot better.
Also do you plan on doing the 960 door handle conversion?

You look for the tail lights I will look and might be able to help out on the door handles.
I know I have some but not sure how many I have.
I have one in the for sale section with a picture I think I have a couple of more at work as well let me check. The ones I will have the plastic will be brand new but the latches are broke. You can swap your old ones into the new handle.

It holds boost a lot better, and it looks cooler...I had to turn down the MBC, so it should be ready for the new exhaust.....
Now the only "bad" IC hose is the bend to the TB.....

Edit:// Stupid me forgot that the you shouldn't undo that little overfill hose to from the radiator to the resivor, and spilled some coolant.....Gah! I am an Idiot. HAHAHA.

Well Stage 1 is almost done....

I started to gut the car today. I still need to remove some front pieces. I have to clean it all up after I finish gutting, then I can start to run some speaker wires, and maybe move the battery to the boot. Only took fours hours, and I could have probably finished it today, but I am tired....

I will finish cleaning the new black pieces, becuase the car will be getting the exhaust tuesday and wednesday.

Thats all for now.....
