| I've got all the bodywork basically done now. I had to fill in the turn signal hole on the passenger side fender. I measured twice, cut once, measured again, threw wrench, filled hole, measured 5 times, and cut once more. Now it's right. I sanded the entire car down with 220 grit and washed it off in the driveway. I went to my local paint store and got a gallons worth of dark blue primer. I plan on painting the car dark blue, and this way, if I get a rock chip, it wont show up as badly as a light grey 'chip'. |

| Okay, I pushed it back into the driveway for this picture. I have EVERYTHING in a good coat of blue. In the trunk, the dash, under the dash, and the entire engine compartment. I left it in the sun for a couple hours to let the primer cure a little better. |

| With the lids on for one last test fit, its almost ready to go! I'll wet sand it down with 400 grit, and it should be ready for paint. I tested the deck lid latch to make sure it works. With the lid being an aftermarket fiberglass unit, and the rear apront being removable, I figured there was a chance that it might not fit. I was wrong. I turned the latch, and it locked 'like butta'. Sweet. |
