hey...got my car back not too long ago and plans are comin through already (3/21/09)
Today is now Sept 7,2009.
Ive been workin on the whip little by little and made alot of progress within the past 3 days. 4 days ago i changes my valve cover gaskets for the fact that they both were leakin oil onto my exhaust manifold and when you drivin n see smoke...you get kinda scared lol. so i found outwhat the problem was n fixed it. Now i have to change my waterpump gasket aswell but not too pressed about that one.( it leaks verry little)
(rear valve cover off)
But anywho...ive made my version 2 of my map lights(see below) their much brighter with 15 LED's!
(new light on left...old light of right)
Ive also completed fixing the big rust hole under my passenger fender (sorry no before shots but do have after shot) it was real tedious but i managed to get-er-done! not to mention a hole in my floor on the inside that allowed u to see the ground ...right next to the fender! (pics below!)
(inside floor somewhat Before/after, covered the hole with fiberglass matt first then a carbon fiber)
this is the before/after(sorry jus threw the sideskirt back on... no pic) shot of one of the holes under my sideskirt below
but it started to rain so therefore i didnt get to finish my trunk.
Another thing i did was, i noticed when driving at night...my gear shift lights( theat let u kno if u in drive park or reverse...etc) didnt really light up like i wanted...so therefore i made them light up! and i changed the indicator lite...blue! (matches my color scheme)

(not really jus the fact that i have to keep fillin it up ...lettin it fun then drain it...sux!) but i got it as clean as i could so fuck it lol. my next thing is ...My damn parkin light stays on so im bout to change the rear drums and hope that fixs the problem lol....ill take a shot at that tomorro...never done drums though...so wish me luck lol
