    Then one day.....I found this...was upset I found it but glad I found it now. After I found this, I inspected the car completely and there was not another spot. Not to shabby for a 23 year old car.













    And now for the OEM seat mount deletion. I am 6' 3" and was told by many people that I would come close to hitting my head on the roof...so this is the solution. This solution is expected to lower the seat 4"...ya that is a lot of room

    I finally got the PCM back from getting the VATS (security system) removed and hooked it up. Things purrs like a kitty cat now on gasoline! WOOT WOOT! In the video I didnt run it long because I didnt have water/anitfreeze in the block. Once I put water in later, I let it run for about 15-20 minutes

    This car has come along way since the day I got it, however its far from being done. Most of the big items are done, just finishing up all the little things before I send it off to paint.

    Weld in all drilled holes in the floor (no idea if this came from factory or if the previous owner did it)
    Pull rear and side windows
    grind all welds in engine bay to make for an OEM appearance
    Mount front bumper
    Roll and pull all corners (11" rim is going to be real tight in the wheel wells)
    Mount water to air intercooler (Yes you read that correctly)
    Mount headlight brackets
    Sand blast entire vehicle
    Undercoat the underside of the vehicle with Line-x
    Send to paint

    Hopefully not to much longer before its done!

    Looking at get a dark charcoal metallic for the exterior and a metallic candy apple red for the interior. Not sure if I am 100% set on the red, may go with an electric green of some sort.

    The green will mess with your eyes after sitting in it for a while, One of my friends had gone a very bright electric green inside his car, everyone complained about their eyes hurting and headaches after riding in it for a while.

    It makes for good contrast, though. lol

    Thats what I was kind of afraid of. It would be a lot of green since everything on the inside of the car would be green. But on the other hand the contrast would be flippin sweet

    I asked because I was curious if you are going supercharger or turbo.

    Then it would be easy to figure out what fuel system to run and injector size based on boost.
