Got the crossmember int his week, and got almost all the All Metal filler done, only thing left is to run over everything with a high performance filler then get the car in its last layer of primer! I am beyond happy with how things are coming out..



















Few shots of my ugly mug after 12 hours of sanding and filling..




Loving the S

not mcuh to update because its all just finishing body work lol


Radiator mounts


Radiator mounted




Fitting body panels, still a lot of work to do for perfection but not bad for slapping them on and 10 minutes of work.. the hood isnt fitting right because the hinges and latch are both not installed..

Some serious progress, although it doesnt look like much, a ton of time sanding and smoothing things out, also got the chasebays milspec connector and chase bays plate mounted on the firewall.. the ECU has found a new home under the heater core on the PASSENGER side.. Also tossed on my full front end to see what kina fitment we were gonna need to do.. nothing crazy, but deffinitly some work needed here.. P.S engine bay will be in full primer on Monday! Then its off to the body shop, and my turbo setup ships in 2 weeks!






ChaseBays moutning plate and harness installed!




AEM mounted under the dash on the passenger side


Nothing crazy as far as fitment issues, but they are there..

This is one hell of a build thread. Can't wait to see the bay finished. Props for all the hard work!
