Is this the car? This isn't a 97 but the wheels are the same?

This was taken at the Nov Austin Hillcountry cruise.

Default ashtray's 2 days to boost or bust...pics (56k where are you?!)

Ok after getting off to a bit of a late start (10:30am instead of 8am) and fighting with the stock exhaust to get it removed, we accomplished alot in one day, and have one day left to finish. The car should be finished and running no later than 1pm tomorrow after noon provided I wake up in time and we get back to wrenching.













and the most important picture of the night, still need to do some cleaning (especially the belt), but everything is mocked up in place..just minor things left




More pictures tomorrow of the last few thing coming together, more pics of me on the phone im sure, and a video of ashtray's smile the first time he feels boost
