One from the front.. The bumper looks a little crooked but the bodylines are perfect.. It is missing the rubber trim from the drivers headlight area, and the lip isn't all the way connected on the other side.. Maybe that is it. Looks like it was run up on a curb.. The frame is stupid straight, I bet i can adjust the bumper..

So, I am in the middle of removing the ghetto purple tint that has been baked by the sun.. I am going to replace it with 18%..
I sourced some coilover springs/perches and picked them up today. They were sold as ground control, and the perches say Ground control on them, but the springs are blue and new, the perches are used.. I got a good deal though so even if I have to buy new springs I am happy. I still need to order the camber plates and rear camber adjusters from mazdatrix.. Coming along...

I also completed stage 1 of vermon removal,bug bombed the car inside, and got underneath and sprayed the entire chassis with bug killer.
The car hasn't been driven since 1999. So the bugs have made themselves at home (several brown widow spiders, and some other little jackass spiders that think it's funny to make tiny little spiderwebs all over the place.

Well my FC has been sitting for a week. I go to drive it up and down the street to blow out the cobwebs (waiting for my new tags in the mail) and there's a mouse nest in the rear bin! The nerve! They just think they own the place.
Any dirt dobber nests?

UPDATE: I started working on the front panel cooling cover template today, I am happy with the design. The front coilovers do not fit... So I must have gotten boned on that deal. The Rears work great.... So I am exploring other options..
BTW- No wasps, hornets or DD's...

Got all the soft lines, wiring harness' ect unplugged so I can pull the engine when I have a spare hour. All that is left is unbolting and removing the exhaust, and unbolting the transmission-to-engine bolts and the motormounts..
