EDIT: I started this thread X-mas break 06-07 while attending the Naval Academy Preparatory School. Now I am about to leave for the Coast Guard Academy and will be going through an officer indoctrination. therefore no 6gc until September and no driving the celi until 2010ish..... anywho i'm going to keep updating this thread when possibly i am home for a holiday and work on the car etc.!! wish me luck.




(original)

So i'm home for Christmas break and its time to work on my car. The swap is sooo close to being complete and i'm hoping to transfer my plates over soon so she is on the road. Right now she is sitting on the lift at my friends garage and i have been working on her everyday.

-Replaced an axle seal
-welded the stock exhaust to match up with the 3sgte
-fixed some issues with the door lock

UPDATE

I finished installing all three DCW gauge pods as well as all 6 pro-sport gauges (only one not connected to a sender is the oil pressure)

I also spent the better part of the day putting the head unit in and all the interior panels below the dash.
Dustin (batman722) can tell you how empty it was


here are the pics!!!!!!







and with no flash to show them glowwww



It actually feels like a car now with the interior back in.. oh god it was depressing with no CC, head unit, glove box, etc etc.. but now its all back together
