I Think 1-2 weeks and I should have it back together and the oil change done.
I dont want to drive on long trips until I change the oil because who knows how old it is.
The guy who owned it did only drive 18K miles in 13 years so that oil can be 2 or 3 years old for all I know.

Brother you are preaching to the choir. I did the door harnesses and puled the doors off the car. The fender seals will test the most patient of men. Ain't life fun? Rebuild a RSD and undermount an amp. Yee Haw.

Whats up with those fender seals, I unbolted the fender in 8 spots and it didnt budge. Are they glued or spot welded to the car (the fender I mean)?

BTW..... It will definatly test some people. It took me 1 1/2 hours to put in 1 seal!

Update!! She is Coming along and not much left.
I put on the rear bumper, Tails, Stage 2's, finished the interior carpet, spoiler and some other stuff since my last update.

I also scored a FREE Motorsound airbox cover from a very good friend and put it in with a new K&N.

I noticed something interesting while I was talking to a friend about the car on the phone. Look at the mileage.... 993!

Meguiars Back to black is Great on bumper pads, and the rear wing.

Thanks to Darin Fister for the Help, The Stage 2's and Wide ovals are installed.
A quick wipe down and a vacuum and the interior looks great. Just like it rolled off the lot..
