Panel hits the streets!!!...sort of.
Finally got it running this week! Did a quick repaint on the pass door, engine lid, front spoiler. Rear hatch was farmed out and is still not back.
Couple of laps around the neighborhood so far... pulls like a freight train! In looking at the pics, it's obvious what I re-painted, but in person it doesn't seem as noticeable. It took four trips to the paint store just to get this close on the match...still, not bad for matching 10 year old paint...

SWEET
I know this is a great day for you. It looks very clean. I like the exhaust cut-out. Dose this mean we will see it in June? Have you boiled the tires for the neighbors?

Thanks eveybody. I haven't been very adventerous yet, just putting around the block and checking everything out. I've got some tire rub issues up front to deal with immeadiately before I can go far... time to research coilovers for the front . Hopefully something that can just bolt in, in place of the factory shock.
Just being able to pull it in and out of the garage at will is HUGE !
