Default _-_-_ .EJ8's, tucked, shaved caged projeCt Sol _-_-_

sooo i picked up a shell this weekend for hella cheap, and decided im doing a full tuck, shaved, built, sol. Oh and im puttin this bitch on jenny craig.. (a diet)... you know like weight reduction. So feel free to spit **** (unless your names dustin) and give a complement or two.. or donate some skrilla. Thanks.

Started today by cleaning all this naaasty **** out of the inside of the car, and took the cowl off and cleaned under there and gave it a nice wipe down.





Nasty *** interior...






After we took out aloooot of leaves etc, and vacuumed it out a bit.



A must have..

After the vacuuming we got down to business and started to strip the interior..




Seat belts out...


Also got the dash and some of the SRS **** out.. but cam went dead.. i will try to post pics tomorrow... thanks for lookin

Thanks for all the comments guys, and dont worry, this will definatly NEVER be sprayed yellow.. I went and did a little work today. Didnt get alot done cuz the girl needs her time wit me too..

Took the heater core and blower etc. out, took the carpet out, took all the braces and underdash harness' out. Took the firewall insulation out. vacuumed the floor afterwards. so far ive weighed what i wont be putting back in and i've only lost 75 lbs.. Anyways heres the pics.





Marked the plugs and where they go w/ letters of the alphabet, so i dont get confused lol.

Nasty blower

Before i took out the insulation on the firewall.. weighed it along with the carpet and it was like 14lbs...

Craziness on the back of the fuse box


Does anybody know if i took this out if i would mess anything up? It says Roof warning on it.. im guessing its just a big *** relay?


When i left for the day thats what it looked like..

dont quote me on this,but IM gona assume its to send a signal to the cluster that the roof is unlocked..the top of the little del sol on the bottom left lights up red to indicate so..

looks like quite a good bit work is ahead of you,but Im looking forward to the outcome and following this thing along...good luck
