240hoke Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hey Guys, Well I got out of school for my last summer of college and finally got some time to "finish" my car up. I wrapped up a lot of the details I had always wanted to get around to but never did. All the electrical is done, and everything works...including the wipers, and power windows! I got my defrost and everything working smoothly as well, wrapped up a lot of loose ends and finally installed the interior. I farmed out the first thing I have ever done on the car and had the carpet put in by a local shop. They covered the shock towers and transmission tunnel for me as well as layed foam down to level the floors with the sub frame connectors. I also installed NOS door panels along with pull handles. The SPAL power windows ended up fitting very nicely. Anyway the only major thing left is making a console to fit the new shifter location. I also washed and waxed it for the first time in two years! I am heading to Zdayz on Thursday and hopefully I will finally get to enjoy the car and put some miles on it! Hopefully some of you guys will be there. But anyway here are the pictures: Lemme know what yall think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeleriousZ Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Looking very very nice. Do you have anything planned in the way of engine dress up? Normally I'm not one for shiny bits, but a body that nice deserves a polished heart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PresaMax Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Beautiful car. You should take pride in all your hard work and efforts. I'm glad you are willing to share the fruits of your labor. Gives me a lot of inspiration to keep working on my cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S30TRBO Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Great job Austin now come up and help finish my SDS wiring!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240hoke Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Thanks for the compliments guys...Ive spent a long time working on the car and It feels good to be at a point where I can (hopefully) enjoy it. DeleriousZ - I Haven't decided what to do with the engine bay. I was planning on blacking everything out like my L28 but I'm afraid it will get pretty busy. Just something Im going to have to think a bit on..I'm not usually one for polished engine bits either but a polished plenum and intake piping would look sharp. Evan - I'm not sure what brand cabinet it is, I bought it off one of my roommates for cheap. I really like it, its a metal cabinet with glass top and good quality gloves. I just need to seal it up a little better and get the light working in it. Cant do without a good sandblaster!! FlatBlack - I'm going to drive the car and enjoy it for a while and then decide what to do with the motor. It may stay the way it is, as I will be in transition with looking for a full time ME job and a house and all that boring real life stuff. I would love to do a nice front mount single turbo setup in the long run. I actually graduate in December finishing my ME degree in 4.5 years with a one year full time co-op. Ryan - Thanks man, I couldn't decided on the carpet at first, but I'm really happy with they way it turned out. Joe - Hey you buy me a plane ticket and ill wire your car (Ive gotten decent at wiring I must say )....I would love a vacation to Cali.

240hoke Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Haha, I knew that...I looked at your location and didnt think it was right. I knew you were an east coaster. Once again me reading to fast. Ill pass on MD , too bad you dont have the car ready for Zdayz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4xwellmurd3r Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 You know what's funny? That blasting cabinet you have, I've USED one that looks JUST like it. first time using a blaster and it was really easy to figure it all out. the gloves were really heavy duty but they weren't hard to move in. used it to clean up a set of nos vw drums. though the one I used had a working light in it lmao. by the way, your car looks AMAZING. every time I see it i'm completely in awe at how clean it is. even if the engine does look totally stock and isn't dressed up at all, it just looks so beautifully clean that I wouldn't want to change anything haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Looks incredible Austin. Where's your front splitter? Is that it, leaning on the cabinets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
