Looking good man! Good thing ya'll have a family vehicle to move around in because when you're done with the Protege it'll be stiff as hell.

I bought it off a member he was trying to sell it for a while now and no one jumped on it so i said **** it ill take it he had it PC'd in red but im gonna change it though.

oh yeah but were still gonna roll the prote instead of the subie on nights and weekends. itll save her gas for work and since mine will be parked during the weekdays it wont use much gas either, its a win win situation. And any road trips will be in the pro also. but its gonna be a fun ride for all till the mounts break in. my next purchace is going to be some Wedge Racing Seat Brackets. cant wait to get those than it means i have to buy some seats to go along with them.

I started bolting some of the stuff back in esterday but didnt do to much so we can do the tuck so lmk if your still game for after the shower. i posted in the sa meet site were on with ruben about that weekend seeing if anyone wanted to come and help also so well see how it goes.
 
Didnt do much today i just cleand and vacuumed the trunk and back seat. In the process realized that with the cage in i couldnt remove the trunk carpet so i had to make some small cuts in the carpet to make it work. Also realized the trunk panels wouldnt fit so i had to cut those too.

Also realized that i lost my wheel lock key so its gonna be fun getting it off.
 
Thats what i was gonna do but i got a replacement key sorta im gonna get new lugs with the new rims so im not to worried about these.
 
Heres the pics of what i did yesterday...

today im gonna take off my struts and springs gonna get a shipping quote for them might have a buyer for them.
