Thanks guys, I did realize that there is no way I can get this done in the 44 days as I was hoping, really only have been able to work on it on Saturdays for 4 hours.

Also I forgot to update last week, The Windshield was pulled along with trim pieces. Then I made a seat bracket for the drivers seat out of the stock rails and a universal side mount seat kit on ebay. Very Happy with it I am planning on making a How To with the passenger's side.


Then as for yesterday, took a fiber wheel to the left over silicone seal then started sand blasting the trim.

Also stayed late at work to finish taping for second coat of primer.

yeah, I really wanted to make it there :/ Next year for sure if it's still called StanceWI at the time.

Soo I finally found a alternative filter instead of the monster this one fits it better.

LOL I liked the mega intake filter LOL, but that smaller one does look a bit more proper in the engine bay I am so jealous of your car, everything is looking great and moving very quickly!! Makes my progress seem stale in comparison. I'm excited to see you get some base and clear on it!!
