    Thanks everyone, it is so nice not to have that bend looking at me each time I see the car. I got my new coolant bottle mostly in, still waiting on the brackets to dry.



    I cleaned and painted my front calipers red. I know they are supposed to be cad plated gold but I like the red.



    I also started fixing this...

    HA! Me too! minus the EFI/Spec 2 part. I took mine for the first drive since finishing installing the DPI exhaust last week and showed it off to/took some friends for rides. It put such a smile on my face.

    Got most of the interior out before sunset.

    Bought a new output flange seal.

    Ordered a bunch of hardware from McMaster, including jack nuts to replace missing nuts in rear fascia.

    First I will JB-Weld the seat studs back on, and then I will de-rust the metal with my Dremel's wire wheels and re-paint with black Rustoleum.

    When I get back from Florida on Saturday, I will be replacing my A/C evaperator and if my order arrives from Houston by then, installing a headliner set. Pretty excited about the A/C, okay I'm lying I'm not looking forward to it at all.

    I am about to do the evaporator job as well. Prep involves removing the seat and carpet and putting a pillow down since I will be working upside down so much. Good luck!

    Finally got the trunk backer boards cut. This 1/8" hardboard is deceptively tough stuff to work with as almost every tool is way too much for it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    I was planning on using 1/8" ABS plastic. I will let you know if it works out any better than masonite, but yours looks pretty good to me!

    I'd bet money it will be more durable and less likely to warp, especially given the differences in climate between where you and I are. Plastic didn't even occur to me if I'm honest, this is just the same stuff I made my new seatbacks out of and it was handy
