Unfortunately, the below car (yellow fastback) is no more. Hurricane Katrina put four feet of water in my house, and garage, where my car was. It was considered totalled by the insurance company, and with everything that was going on after Katrina I decided not to keep the car. The was auctioned off from a Copart lot in Gulfport, MS. So, someone does have the car and hopefully it hits the road again someday. If you've got it, let me know. I still have a folder of paperwork for the car.

Here's an updated pic of the engine bay after a little sprucing up with some Krylon 1613 semi-gloss paint. I left the new export brace gloss black since it's a horizontal surface that will collect more dirt/dust. The Monte Carlo bar and heater are not installed in this pic.
Here we go, everything back together.
Compare these old shots with the ones above.

Interior pic (obviously), and with the new Grant wheel installed.

It's a little hard to tell on some of these pics, but they do need to be replaced. Someone before did some half-ass repairs/patches. They'll get done right this time. Here are the before shots:
Here's the completed job:
More pics from Dec 04:
I'm replacing my suspension and didn't want the entire thing to be black so I decided to paint the front springs yellow. It will give it a little variation. Should look good with black control arms and yellow springs. I also painted my new leaf springs. Don't know what protective coating comes on those things, but it's some sort of wax (like a bees wax) and it kind of sucks to remove.
Post Katrina Pics
Damn! I just finished putting in new seats and shoulder belts. On the positive side, I had upped my insurance earlier in the summer and they were no hassle. Only bad thing is they wanted 50% buy back, which prevented me from keeping the car.
SORRY ABOUT THE BLURRY IMAGE
