Yes - having a pit in the garage is sweet! It makes many things much easier!!!

Thanks for the compliments folks! Sometimes I think that I am way out of control when it comes to the cleaning and details. But what the hell....I really enjoy it!!!

Not a tremendous amount of progress tonight, but significant progress. The front bumper is done, fog lights are aligned and done and the flex dam is completely fastened. Feels great to have these parts done!!!!!

Little bit by little bit....

I thought about not using the rubber spacer that goes between the fender and the front valence. The car that I took the flex dam off of didn't have it and it seemed to look just fine without it. But, I had to see what it looked like done the right way. I'm glad I did. it looks better with the rubber spacer in place! Plus it is done more right (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I've been working away. Getting a little more done every day.

My home PC is screwed up once again so I haven't been able to post pics as often I I would like. Sometimes the PC will cooperate and other times it has a mind of its own. Just about time to wipe out the hard drive and start fresh.

Back to car progress stuff...

Here are the small side grills, seals and fasteners

I finished up the trim around the sail panels. I used the black butyl material that is used for windshield installation to create the seal on the back side of the AL trim pieces.

I removed the paint from the rear trunk hinge pivot points and lubed them up well.

Hinge installed.

Getting the torsion bars in place looks to be just about impossible (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Let me know if you have a good method for hooking them behind the rollers.

Installed the driver's side front trunk hinge. Fairly easy when using this set up. I did have a helper press the spring hook down into position when I had it stretched to the right place.
