It's back from the upholstery shop. They installed carpet, a headliner, and made floor mats. I have to go back next week to pick up the roll bar pads. Before I can install the passenger side seat, I need to get the windows tinted. I also have to find the trim pieces that hold the headliner to the top of the windshield frame and back glass frame. If anyone knows where I can get these two pieces (or at least a picture so I know what to look for), I'd really appreciate a point in the right direction!

There is a VERY nice salvage yard near Culpepper, VA called Leon's. They have a bunch of old stuff, and thus might have the parts you need. I will probably be going there in the next week or so if you'd like me to look for you.

Shiny Side Up!

Are you referring to the plastic trim pieces? I should have been more clear, apparently there are metal strips that screw on to the edge at the top of the windshield and the back glass which the plastic trim pieces clip on. I've been checking the resto places online (Year One, NPD, etc) and it's looking like the parts I need aren't reproduced.

The interior really turned out nice. I'm still battling with the decision on my rollbar. I think your setup will pass ECTA tech with no problem. Wish you could swing the Motor State deal in June.

Hey thanks Mark! My plan is to have this at RRTH. I've still got some bugs to work out, but I'm confident it'll be ready by September.

Thanks! I've had it on the road a few times so far and based on early indications, it's going to be a lot of fun! Right now I'm in the process of adjusting the pinion angle; I think I'm almost there. The next big thing is to get the hood and trunk painted!

Thanks Mike. Overall I'm happy with the interior though the floor mats the shop made were pretty shabby IMO. The mats that are in there now came from Carol's GLK 350, amazingly they fit perfect!

It would be nice if ECTA approved my bar/seat/harness system. I'd really like to see what the top end on this thing is!

June won't work for me. I have to be at my new duty station on 12 June and we still haven't sold our current house. Until that's sold we really can't do anything. It never fails, whenever we need to sell a house, the market takes a dump!

I'm sure the house will go soon. On the ECTA, just go to tech and act fat,dumb and happy. Your setup is done real close to 100 percent right. Hopefully they will allow you to do both your 125 and 150 licensing runs. 150 and above is where the 5 point rule is strict. They basically told me they knew my car was gonna go 175 so I had to meet that requirement before running again. They are very fair and only want to be sure all the drivers are safe.

Ok guys, here it is with the new paint...






Since I changed the valve covers, I have to include an engine pic...




Oh what the hell, here's a shot of the interior too...

[BossaNova]

Dang man. You should warn somebody before you post pictures like that.
I nearly fell out of my chair!
Talk to you later......I've got to look at those pics again.
