Todd and Rachel,


Please reinforce the safety aspect of getting that little gal to protect her purty little eyes with some safety glasses!


Yeah, I know many will take that as undue criticism, but it is really sound advice from an old one-eyed fat man.



Great build you guys are doing and sharing with us.

Day 2 of the long weekend. Started out a little shakey, had a couple of interior panels that needed painted, figured we could start there and it didn't go as planned. Ran out of paint when we originally painted so I had to get more... well it didn't match at all so I had to go find some and re-paint, luckily it matched but it put us behind first thing. We got to patching holes in the floor and getting the DS loop in, then installed some Rivnuts for future rear section carpet hold downs.

I looked for months for a nice dashpad, couldn't find one. They do however make abs plastic covers but I wasn't sure about that, we filled the hole (plastic epoxy) then sanded it, then we tried to cover it with vinyl. Well I got it with sort of a backing on it ( maybe it's the wrong stuff) so it wouldn't form to it and it looks pretty bad. Well we did it together so it's good with me and we put it in.

Threw in the wiring harness to the rear of the car then finally got around to installing some interior panels, quit about 9pm. Long day, but we'll be back at it tomorrow (not very early though).

We were tired and moving in slomo today. We did however get the steering column out and apart, got more interior bits sorted out, commenced the under dash wiring and test fit the core support.
