O DAMN! too nice..

 

[not yellow]

[vw2p5]

[funkalicious21]

Yeah, Chris (circuit), kyle # 2 and i got the motor to turn over last saturday. We're going to finish things up this saturday and patch things up and hopefully get it on the road.

 

[funkalicious21]

could you share some interior pics?

I haven't put the whole interior together yet but it will be soon though. I did post up picture of it in progress a few pages back.

 

[funkalicious21]

I got my rear strut bar installed, but I'll gotta clean up that hole i cut.

Got my Nardi steering wheel, and all the pedals in (gas/brake/clutch)

I spent a good amount of time cleaning up the interior and getting it ready to swap in the Mazdaspeed interior. Vacuuming and whipping down everything with microfiber towels.

If you're looking for that, there ya go.

I do i do! If you came out, i'd come out just for you brotha! Probably make a big meet out of it. =D

Thank you very much! The whole tucking thing too me forever to mess with. The engine definitely couldn't have been done with Circuit. The power steering had to go! It was the only yellow thing in the engine bay besides the dip stick handle... Had to go! It definitely does make a huge difference in appearance.
