4/20/10 UPDATE:
Got a few more updates for you all. Worked on my car some more last weekend.
First up is I put in a Kartboy rear shifter bushing. Here is a pic of it compared to the stock one. The rubber on the stock one was way soft so this will stiffin up my shifting a bit more. Hard to do so when I already have TWM short through shifter and front shifter bushings though. lol This is another mod to the thanks of my good very generous friend Brian(AKA Brisky). THANKS BUD!:
I LOVE ME SOME KARTBOY! LOL
Next up which isn't much but I painted my front calipers:
Thats it for now. I got more comming though. I have a lightweight front bumper beam to put on if it will work with my fog lights, my rear drumb to disc brake conversion, and to finally finish my replacement doors to replace my banged up doors from an accident a few winters ago. Later yall and GOD BLESS! Dan

Glad to see you got your car out around the cones! What organization was the autoX with?

My shifter is far from stock my friend. It is a TWM short through shifer, TWM front shifter bushings, Kartboy rear shifter bushings, TWM Bombshell weighted shift knob, and Redline custome leather shift boot and arm rest cover. (alright) Every shifter mod available. lol
A local organazation called Auto Sports Northwest through SCCA.

6/7/10 UPDATE:
Got a good one for you all! Or at least it is to me. I finally finished painting my replacement doors. Just installed them and put them all back together yesterday. If you did not know I got t-boned the winter before last(which is why for quite some time you will notice all the pic's of my car have been on the right side of the car) and instead of taking it to a body shop I used the money to fix all the damage and repaint myself. So all the paint work I did myself with a professional paint gun. Onto picks!:
BEFORE:
NEW DOORS!:
WEIGHT SAVINGS! LOL:
I DO WORK! LOL:
DOORS ON:
WAXIN' THE NEW AND IMPROVED RIDE:
THE FINISHED PRODUCT!:
