Speedo not working yet.

Still need to install...
Back seat floor carpet both sides.
Passenger seat belt.
Wet sand and buff the bumpers.
Windshield washers in the hood.
Paint trim around both door windows in place.
Repaint passenger outside rear view mirror ( I messed it up putting on the window trim)
Fix wipers ...not working yet.
Reseal A/C.
Repaint wheels to nice shiny silver.

I think thats its...maybe a few minor things I need to add but I feel like I am hours away from done.

Been driving it the last couple days around town...there is a local car show next month I think I will enter.

Are you planning on dropping the ride height at all?

Wonderful stuff. Needs some teledial wheels IMHO, they just look so good with the early shape. You should be able to pick some up fairly cheaply.
