    lol everyone gets mx-3_4evr wrong! jk Love the plans for this car, perfect N/A build! You need a better intake manifold though. Maybe you can get one of Ryan's cut intake manifolds (bpt323)

              ok..sooo took long enough but heres pics of the work. get some final pics of the sunroof up in a bit to.

              ALSO re-smoked my tail lights and added the new zoom zoom sticker to em.

              engine progress is still slow...college blows. ha!

              lol @ antonio!! he saw my sunroof the first night...ha shoulda seen the look on his face! the thought it had disaster written alllll over it! but the sunroof blended in half ass decent! only leak problem i have is cuz i didnt hook up the front drain tubes down the a-pillar. to much hassle...so i capped em off and just got the rear ones runnin now. works out decent. dont really bother me to much.

              more pics to come sooon.

              also forgot to mention...

              p/s delete as well as a/c. designed all aluminum w/p, alternator n crank pulleys. which are way lighter than stock. and lighter than corksports if you would like a pair please let me know and i'll see what i can do.

              designing and building a stainless 4-1 header to go along w/ these minor mods. building one for antonio as well.

                Roof --finished product

                finished the roof last fall..just was negligent on gettin pics up. so here she be. i must say its not to half bad for a first time on a sun roof swap. i would do the whole roof next time tho instead of just a section.

                  Body work!!!

                  spring rolled around a lil early up here in north minnesoooooota. got my taxes back n decided to put a lil portion toward the maz. 626 front lip (finally) and doin some bondo work to the c pillars, pillar towers and quarter panels.

                  got both rear doors off donor car and are in good condition. they are gettin final straightening right now along w/ the deck lid. all these will be done this weekend. but not quite in paint.

                  since i cant find any front doors and fender for a reasonable price around here...and i have almost a gallon of bondo still...might as well put it to good use. got my buddies body hammers and a dolly sooo this weekend....time to do some work! will post pics sunday night.

                    took a couple afternoons of sanding but finally got 'er. just covered in primer for now. it rained the next day after priming

                    opinions on this stock spoiler/wing... its from a hyundai...dont know what model or year..but fits decent. not like an escort or GTX wing..but similar. yay or nay?? i cant decide but the more i look at it...the more i kinda like it.

                      and if you are wondering about that engine build...well...still in the works. started school back up again and due to my poor money management skills...i had to stop work on the engine.

                      but did some work on designing some aluminum pulleys, oil pump gear and header while in school. sooo thats a plus right? hehe.

                          both rear door are getting replaced. rear window trim will be replaced. and the primer was a last minute thing in order to keep from rusting when the rain came. nowhere near final. still has 80 grit sand marks...thats not gonna be there in final... noooo way in hell! and paint comes off glass easily enough. gonna be hittin 'er hard today. starting in a bout 20 minutes. just got home from work.

                              Nice updates, man!
                              Where have you mounted your front fog lights switch/button? I see you installed them and connected to the electrical circuits without dependence in turning on parking lights.
