Great write up and I am still laughing about the pictures. Good luck with your project. They are alot of posts on here for the interior dying and some radio/amp installations. Good luck, and keep us posted.

LOL! Car molester. ^^^

About this much

While the dash is out, I will be looking into replacing the cold cathode back lighting as well as hopefully dyeing the dash black.
Future plans hold a Boosted GTE. I'll be moving the battery to the trunk. I would also like to build up the block. The car is going to be re painted black. I'm toying with the Idea of doing a dark blue paint for the engine bay. Something like a midnight blue or subaru blue. There will be a full black interior swap. (or paint/dye) I'm going to be doing an in car PC as well. The PC will act as my media as well as tuning and probably Zetronix like software. I will do a sound system. (Nothing too big or fancy, just quality replacement speakers and amp)

This is just my though process as of now. Suggestions are appreciated.
I'm still quite undecided on if I'm going to single, or twin turbo it.

I bet that car is a good 1,000 lbs under weight... it should fly.
