Hey congrats bro. It does sound like a very good month. It may take a while to get all those parts on though.

Yeah, that sounds like a nice full day of work.... if you're as inexperienced as me, probably longer. Still, sounds like fun! That car will be a blast to drive when you're finished!

Thanks guys! I forgot to mention I had also had the S5 manifold conversion done

Took me a while to save, and definitely left a whole in the pocket. lol. MmSadda the front brakes alone took us about 5 hours! The damn rotors took 11.5 tons of pressure to take off the rotor. the damn center (that had to come off to take the rotor off). Well worth it though. (thanks to those who helped me that day) we even lit the car on fire by accident (word of advice be careful when torching brake lines) no damage though, just the brake cleaner fluid burning quickly. (hosed it down in time). Good times....

Ah the joys of restoring older cars. But man will it worth it! (i hope).

A friend of mine is being a huge help and has resolved nearly all the electrical issues that made cry. Once the parts are on I'm foaming parts of the frame and then getting the undercarriage properly protected with lots of POR-15/Rust bullet, and then giving it a nice paint job (next spring). Not too many more things after that just perhaps, a lighter weight batter, and hood. Oh and I'll NEED a highflow cat to take advantage of the power mods and free up the exhaust (that should actually be sooner rather than latter, plus a CAI would be nice)
