Ha thanks, Im selling motorcycle stuff to pay for car stuff so progress is slow, but since it didnt really NEED anything its ok. I get to enjoy every little thing that much more.

The blue stitching actually looks like it matches the grayish color seats dash and carpet. Ive got like 25 dollars to spend from selling wind screen, but I think Ill wait, and maybe do speakers next. Suspension, wheels tires, shift **** and audio are also on the list for the future. Then well see after all that.

Got a B series shift linkage and 1 of the B16 mount brackets I needed. Also found a B16 for $300 head... maybe a LS/Vtec in the future?? Swapping motors is so FUN

Did alot of stuff today (took off work), feel like I now own a new car!
#1 got to spend the day with my 14 month old daughter while I did this stuff... the laborius parts were installed as she napped!
-registration
-inspection
-2 new tires to complete the new tires on the back
-tie rod ends
-alignment
-fixed a/c problem with the help of Ron and Mk last night
-did sea foam clean, and yes it did cure the hesitation and rough idle!
-Washed the car and terry clothed her clean which was a breeze since I
claybarred it last weekend
-Vacuumed it out
-Shined windows
-Polished tires

With the new hood I got 2 weeks ago and all of this stuff that has been added I feel like I own a brand new car! I am one mirror away from having the whole body solid again!

Thanks, yeah I like it a lot and figure taking the tape deck out is good for at least a 15hp gain
