Had some more time to get work done! Engine bay is finish painted along with the firewall being welded up and gutting the hood. Finished shooting the interior yesterday, ran short on paint so the insides of the doors need finished (used far more paint than I anticipated) I forgot how much I hate painting interiors, places like the bottom of the back deck and just all prep work in general, but she's all pretty now!
Rear diff and refreshed subframes are installed. I have the drivetrain out so I'm making the shifter linkage and shooting all the drivetrain mounts. I think thats about it for now.
Few little side notes as parts are being made and slowly coming in. Wheels are being made by KOYA in AUS, 17x10 +40et, only 17x10 that wouldn't cost me a small fortune to have made that is a quality wheel, could have just gone with a smaller size or some cheap xxr's but didn't feel that was right way to do it. Rear wing is being built by TOP STAGE composites in AUS as well, I just didn't really like the designs here in the US. Very excited for both to arrive, probably at least a month or so out though

Lots of suspension pieces inbound as well, looking forward to just bolting so stuff on for once haha.
