      I am excited to get it ready for the road now. All i need to do this weekend is get a new alternator for the car, and a new rear windshield wiper. Then off to get tabs. Woo! I have had this car for almost 5 years now ha.

            Pedders struts and Suspension technologies? Whatever springs Cork Sport was selling before they discontinued selling bf 323 gtx parts. I also have the Mazda Speed hard top mounts. Still need to pick up some strut tower bars, and some underbracing.....but that is probably going to be next spring

              That's what I thought. I had the same set up. I may get rid of my rear bar in the GTX if I do, I'll let you know.

                  Is it shawn or sean? You and I should use your garage to repaint my car after I find some side skirts.

                    Maybe you need to talk to your GF or wife about that.......

                    Looks great Sean. Stop by sometime. I'd love to finally see it our on the road! I can totally believe how excited you must feel!

                      I'm sure we could figure out something. It's Sean, and i totally forgot your name...please refresh my memory.

                      I should have the car up and completely functional by the end of November. I still need to put all the interior back in as well as a couple odds and ends

                        That's awfully nice of you to offer up his garage.... LOL

                        BTW, he doesn't have that garage anymore. He's moved. He might have a set-up that would work for you 808, but that means you would have to come and visit me too!
