I'll start with current updates after it gets back from paint. If anyone has any questions about how things progressed just ask. I don't feel like typing the whole story if I don't have to.

Nice! Got any more interior shots? Show us your monkey! :p

Thanks, I don't have any that are up to date I'll get some as soon as I get it back.

Here is said monkey though. He's my navigator since all the girls that ride in my car can't seem to do much more than scream at my driving habits.

I guess you can see part of the black stuff in the back ground that I've done.

:lol::lol::lol:

Take a subiegirl for a ride, she won't scream. :D

[WhtRexGrl]

hahaha..nope
I love the one pic above of the front end w/the graffiti that looks like it says Stout. That's a cool shot

Thanks, I was just excited to find some cool tags that I could get my cat close to.

[WhtRexGrl]

Great idea!

[Pitcherman]

Wow, car not cat. Stupid iPhone.

[Hex Kitten]

:lol: I noticed your two-tone seatbelt that looks just like mine right away. I blacked out my panels, too. It just fits in my car since my tints make it all spooky dark inside. Now you can't really see anything in the back seat night or day because any light that comes in the windshield doesn't get very far :devil: Stealthwagon FTW!

[arielkizzay]

im loving the interior, is the rear seat delete custom?

[Pitcherman]

im loving the interior, is the rear seat delete custom?
Thanks. That's actually what it looks like without a rear seat at all. No seat delete. I modified the rear seat so that it would fit back in with the cage to keep sound down, but I don't think I have any pictures of it. I may be making something else though because I've never been happy with the way the seat looked with the cage back there.

[GirlieGT05]

thats a beautiful car!! i like the pic of the monkey!

[Pitcherman]

Update Feb 26, 2010.

Not much of an update really, more of a delay. I talked to the body shop yesterday and somehow they scratched my cusco lip taking the car off a lift wednesday so now they are in the process of fixing that. It was supposed to be done by today (3 weeks for some freak'n hail damage) but now it's starting to look like it will be another week.

They keep telling me how awesome it looks and how the car looks brand new, so I'll be going over it with a fine tooth comb when they say they are done. I'm sure I can find something they missed.

Anyway, just bored without my car so I thought I make a post.

[Hex Kitten]

Looking forward to some pics of it all fresh & clean when you get it back :D

[xxthat girlxx]

That sucks about the lip. But glad everything will be brandy new.

[Bugichic]

Wow great car!!

[Pitcherman]

Well finally got the dang car back. I'm happy with it, even though the body shop did a piss poor job of detailing it out before I picked it up. Anyway snapped some quick pics until I can do a good detail job on it this coming weekend.

don't mind the hazy headlight that's next on the list.

[Pitcherman]

Well I've been a busy little bee the past couple of days. Pulled the intake manifold off, ported my TGV's, installed some grimmspeed 8mm phenolic spacers, and installed my APS turbo inlet.

Here's some crappy cell pics I took while working.
