Not my cup of tea. I prefer the carpet installed.
Nice looking wheel, though.
No dash cracks?
So that's how it should look.
The wheel fits.

There are always a few hairline cracks somewhere.
Just depends on your level of tolerance
Hey, my Momo wheel didn't come in a "Nerd" model...

Little bit of progress....
This looks really really nice,I am so waiting for the eventual results of similar labor.
Scrape,sweat and tears,the hours and days of sanding those voluptuous curves.
That's awesome man. Keep it up!

Engine looks great. Do you need a shift knob. I have one that isn't pretty but its functional. Also a repro that is new but not identical to orig.
No thanks, i'm good on knobs. Just need to polish mine a little more

I bet you $100 it won't start if you don't take that tape off the intake!
Looking great - not much further!

Something to do with alloy cylinders.
Spend more.

It's turning out great man. Congrats. Almost time to drive it!
Looks awesome, Mike. Congratulations on a great journey, almost exactly three years, right? It's certainly inspiration for my attempt, which I need, as mine is just beginning....
Beautiful car, congratulation! Inspirational to see.... nice work.
So you'll be driving it to work Monday ?
Not after they coat the roads in salt and S this weekend...
Looks great man! I'm sending good weather vibes you way
Working through all the electrical gremlins. So far everything works but the headlights and licence plate lights. Still have to sort the heater and FA blowers.

Tif's got the motor running pretty sweet. They said I did a great job and it's a happy motor. Problem was a bad MPS. They patched mine to make it run but Jeff has a rebuilt unit on the way.

Sweet ride. Congrats. These engines run pretty damn well when they have a "good" MPS. I've seen guys try to tune around a bad MPS for a year. I was one of them.
Or spend a year tuning around the incorrect / incompatible MPS, like me 
Nice job, Mike!
Nice job, Mike!
Picked up the Teener today. First drive. She'll take some getting used to but all in all it's the best day ever!
