- Re-installed the up pipes, turbos and downpipe. Even though we marked them, still a bit painful, but not anywhere near the manifolds. Looking good. I will post up pics over the weekend.
- Polished the radiator and the cooling fan shroud. Ready fro re-install.
- Received my final 2 gauges, a DEFI Link Fuel Pressure Gauge
- A new AFR from Innovate is replacing my AEM Uego. Innovate makes some of the most accurate gauges around.
- Got back the recovered headliner with the black perforated suede installed on it, as well as the Sunroof slider. Kick a$$ look!!
- Cleaned and repaired the carpet, every staple is in place, carpet is mint
- New Modded Headlights are complete and shipping back to me
Thanks,
Ryan

I just wanted to say this this build is phenominal. The meticulous attention to detail is off the charts. I read this thread from page to page and I am just truly impressed. (I was in a motorcycle accident so I have a lot of time on my hands) Good luck with the remaining parts of the build and can't wait to see the finished product!

Thanks for the props!
Coming today.
Thanks for your attention to this thread. I am a little OCD at times, but I find that doing things right the first time is generally a lot more involved, but a lot more satisfying. Thanks for your props as well.
What up Big D!! Congrats on the BIG DAY! Marriage is a great thing when two people are comitted to each other. I look forward to meeting your wife one day.
Thanks man, almost done here.

Hey gang. Another update. We replaced the sheet metal screws that bwere holding the fuel lines in place with rivets last night. Much cleaner install.
We also hooked up the battery to the car and tested the fuel pumps and pressurized the whole fuel system. No leaks or fumes at all, both pumps fired right up and pumped the fuel. We adjusted fuel pressure to 43.5 lbs for now, and let it run for several minutes. Everything worked like a charm! Onw more thing completed.
Also getting the pieces of the interior completed. Both airbags are dyed black, as I could not locate them in black to match the black interior I am fitting into the car, and they look great. I am changing the chrome logo on the steering wheel airbag to gloss black to match up with the theme in the interior.
The 6.5 inch speakers are custom installed in the doors, the grommets, insulation, baffling and padding is al installed and it looks great. Also not in the way like my previous experiment with the fiberglass pods installed in the front bottom carpet section of the doors. This is so much cleaner, and kind of stealthy. I am very pleased.
Here are some pics of the various pieces. All the suede is black perf:

Here are some pics of the passenger airbag cover and the 2 6.5" speakers re-mounted in a much better place on the door. The front is a 3-way MB Quart, the rear is a 2-way MB Quart.
Airbag now in black:

Sorry for the phone quality pics of the speakers. I did not have my good camera with me.
