It's been challenging but rewarding. Most of it is straight forward but every now and then you get a what in the hell moment while reading the manual. Luckily there are alot of guys I can call up for help and we have a great owners forum for the cars.
There is alot of satisfaction in knowing I built all this. (pride mostly, I try not to let that go to my head too much lol) I have had to learn how to fabricate alot of small things. Nothing major, but little things. Tons of test fitting stuff and sometimes just redoing things cause I didn't like the way it looked.
I will say it has turned out to be more expensive than I thought. The kit is pretty complete, but I have to run to the store alot for little things for the motor accessories. The paint and body work is going to cost me about $6k. That's one thing I just do not want to take the time to do.
I am pretty sure it is going to be titanium silver with a black stripe. But it does change from day to day.

 

It is alot of fun and a challenge. There are sometimes I think, ok how in the world do I do this part and i just plug along an it works out. It's def been fun

 

Yes I have the body sitting on a body buck. I am not going to do that part of it myself. Just way too much work involved there. Not to mention the mess in the garage. I have a painter lined up. I hope to be able to have it to him in the next 3 weeks or so. It's going to take the painter 2 months to complete and about 6k from me.

Kansas is great, but pretty darn cold right now lol. We just had an ice storm. Thank good ness I still have one subaru to drive around in

 

Here are some more pics. You can see the bracket I made for the ecu and some of the wiring that is done. If it is loomed then it is done IF it is hanging all over the place it's not lol.

lol needs a little cleaning too, amazing the dust drilling fiber glass can make

 

Here is the covered Dash and guages. Still a work in progress but here is the start

 

Yeah I really like the retro guages too

 

Yeah the snow and cold weather here has kept me from starting the car. I should have it started this weekend and the body on it next week then off to the painters. I came up with a new paint scheme. I won't say what it is. But it is going to rock!
