Here's the LCAs and Isos - The bolt connecting them to the axle was bent on both sides, I had the whole thing torn apart for days while we tried everything to get them out. Ended up putting everything back together and taking it to a shop...Never again

Here's some before and after shots of the seat extensions, both shots with the seat as far back as possible:

I painted the old rusty gas tank straps, so here's the before/after pictures:

Ordered a new header panel from BOI to replace my old one that was broken in several places, here's a shot of 2 of 6 cracks it had

Driver's side taillight had been replaced by some shitty chinese knock-off, it looked HORRIBLE, so I went to a junkyard and got one that actually matched!

I had to fill a hole in my wheel shroud as one of the dumbass old owner's didn't have it on right and wore a giant hole in it that now exposed my CAI to rain. Sheet of aluminum and SS screws fixed her up quick:

Here's my god-only-knows-how-old fuel filter that needed replacing:

Seafoam! To supposedly clean carbon out of everything...my neighbor's faces were priceless when I took off down the road (this picture is at idle):

Started cleaning up my brake calipers with wire brush wheels/sand paper/steel wool/polishing wheels, it's a serious undertaking but will look damn good when I finally finish them. Here's the progress thus far:

Bullitt pedals, A/C delete, and ScanGaugeII arrive, WOOT!

FINALLY got some new tires on her, time to go to the track :) Nittos 555 Extreme ZRs, 245/45-17s all around

Got on some Hawk HPS pads front and rear and some ATE super blue fluid.

I'm a ricer and bought a gauge pod with no gauges...but here's what it looks like until i get some money for gauges:
