Thanks guys!
Today I decided to be productive while I waited for my Grandpa to say it was ok to come over. After a while he called me saying he forgot that he had company coming over for dinner. We are planning for me to go over there Tuesday after school now.
Here is my interior

And using these tools it turned into this:

I put as many pieces as I could into the bag and weighed them in. In the mod list I added 0.2 lbs to account for all the pieces I didn't pick up.

When I make it out to my Grandpa's I will take a wire wheel to what's left to clean it up. I also want to remove all the items circled in red and fill the holes circled in green.

I'm now at 175.67 lbs removed.

Damn! Thats gonna look good!
i like the sound of thatAmiguel6 just posted these in my build thread on CI. Can't wait to get them.
In other news I did go out to my Grandpa's last night and removed the components I wanted to and also grinded the floor so it's ready for paint. I will post pics later. I need to get more paint to finish the job.

My girlfriend just gave my birthday giftShe also gave me Pacific Rim and a season of Top Gear. :
Why 6 speed? Because K swap.
that's awesome man! In for k swap 
It's been a while since a proper update.
Yesterday, as some of you guys know, was my birthday. My girlfriend gave me a Mugen 6 speed spherical shift knob.

Old vs. new. Shifting is sooo much smoother with this knob compared to the OEM one.

Then today as I got back from school I had a delivery notice. So I went to the post office to pick it up. They FINALLY arrived!

Then here is the progress on my interior. Not perfect by any means, but it'll do for now. Once I get more time (ie. out of school) I will completely repaint the interior. I just wanted it painted before the bare metal rusted.

The paint was still wet in that shot, that's why it looks chrome like.
Here is the latest work. I finished shaving all the holes from removing the seat mounts and child seat anchor mounts then finished the painting and lastly installed the trim again. You can also see my Mugen shift knob. I'll get better pictures soon just been so busy. I'm hoping to install the window visors soon too.

wow you are really gungho about the whole weight thing. i dont think i ever got a real answer on that one.
An answer on what? Sorry. Honestly i was expecting closer to 5 lbs from those. It was too much effort for so little weight lol.
