Are you gonna do a fiberglass or carbon fiber rear hatch? What about Flex-A-Lite rear quarter windows and rear window?

I'm going over the different class rules for the events I want to enter in and I'm not sure I want to be in that class. (Lexan, fiberglass front end, hatch, etc..)

I'll know for sure in a week or so, I might even have to get a set of stock door panels and roof liner.

Radiator and fan arrived. I'm only a few parts short (and a damn motor).

I'm getting kind of pissed at the guy doing the "engine hunting" for me, I'm about ready to bail on him.

I got a "warning" from the code enforcement for working on my car in my driveway. I only have a 1 car garage so it's hard to work in there. I've been busy selling the interior of the EG and cleaning the garage all up so that I have the room I need.

So to answer your question, I've been collecting parts, and preparing to yank out the stock motor. Once it's out I have a few things to yank out still before it gets the cage installed.

I have a ton of s**t sitting around my house just waiting to get installed. Sucks.

Come over and help me work on it and it'll speed right by. Or better yet, send someone over to watch my kids while I finish it up.

The problem isn't the money at this point, it's getting the work done. I will however be making some progress this weekend and should have some pics up.

Finishing up the basics. Rear hatch, glass, and lights are out. All the harnesses were taken out as well as the cables for the hatch and gas tank release.

I'll be finishing up the remainder of the "paint/cage" prep as well as getting the stock exhaust off and trying to get nothing but the motor left connected in the engine bay.
