I hope so, after its finished i will still have the dampers to buy and the proper wheels and tires, also all my personal safety equiptment. If im not there as a competitor, ill probably tow it up there anyway to get it logbooked and either crew, or work at the rallly.

Today I got the bumpers painted, and I started on the wiring.

Tomorrow, more wiring and plumbing

The car is 99.99% done, but ive got a few loose ends, mainly because my glass guy wont be here till later this afternoon. Ill have pics and such up later tonight.

**mattm2001** · 10-05-2009, 09:37 PM

Glass Guy Came today. Putting the final touches on the car, like the dash and defrost system.

Cant wait to get home from work to check out this thread. I cant see any of the pics here at work. I read the thread and it seems pretty awesome!

**mattm2001** · 10-08-2009, 12:07 AM

Thanks guys.
Well, today is the day, went to the tag office around noon when I got out of school. Came home with tag and insurance in hand, put the dash and seat, and a harness, washed it, and drove it around like all afternoon. Didnt snap any pics, ill have some up tomorrow (after buff and wax)

**alk.3_st** · 10-12-2009, 04:23 PM

**mattm2001** · 10-19-2009, 11:21 PM

Heres some pics, ive driven the car some. Drives great, have to do an alignment, and get all the carbon fiber work done, roof vents, seats etc.

**ZX3autoxtasy** · 10-20-2009, 05:39 PM

Looks badass dude!

I would debadge it, and get some sweet Euro-SVT/ST200's or something to roll around on.

... that being said, they would be purely for looks. Haha.
