Sooo... Stuff is happening... lol

r_Senik

can't wait to see what's coming up.

knuttveiten

Thanks man... yea I'm pretty excited. Doing a ground up refresh on it. Engine bay will be semi tucked and smoothed out just a little. Paint will be a Pearl White (yes i have a thing for white egs) Interior is going to be black with airbagless dash, new carpet etc. integrating all of my security wiring, audio and camera stuff into the body harness. Aiming to be ready for the road on march 1st.. Here are some progress pictures from the last week or so..

Love that purple color on 6. gen. Nice coupe x2. :D

knuttveiten

Thanks man! The EM1 is already sold bk to my bro in law tho lol. He had sellers remorse and I kinda had buyers remorse (Im more of a 5th gen guy)

knuttveiten

So I got all of the body panels bolted on to get all the gaps right and get the body straight. Lots of work ahead but aiming for the best of my ability for this build. We will see how it goes!
