The two things that I find that are not even close to what I would ever want on one of my own cars are:

Right hand drive, unless I move to a dfferent country.
.............................and.................. .....................
An engine bay that is a different color than my car.

But thats just me.

If you are in fact doing all the work, then I gotta hand it to ya for the ability to
do what most ricers just talk about.
Looks like it will be a nice car when you are done.

What wheels are those? Are they painted, or did they come that color set?
I like em', I'm trying to find some for my car that are black with a red lip
that is not anodized.

it really wasnt a half as job on the firewall, i cut the old one out after i drilled all of the spot welds, it was just easier to cut it out so thats what i did, the new firewall was also drilled out so when it was time to put it in i rewelded all of the spot welds then stitch welded the whole thing in for added support. if there is a better way to do it let me no cuz i thought that would be the best way.
