Gutted the front,it was gross so i pulled up all the factory cardboard stuff and washed everything.

Put down all the E80

Put in the new black carpet from stock interiors and it was a pain in the ass i had to cut the spots for the center shifter and seats
Still working on the doors and dash

Thanks i didn't realize how much it cost to run ss braided lines the lines them self are not really that expensive but all the dam little fittings are what jack up the price.

Agreed, if at all possible.

More weight in the front, a little more traction.

Looking good bro, keep rolling.

battery in the back helps (limited amount) with weight distribution. i wish i could relocate my battery. Looks great caboose... wanna rebuild my LD9??

mine and blackjacks comments were from a more drag racing point of view. I don't see many of you guys autocrossing or road racing in the near future.

I'm also looking at this from a tech inspection position. Which means you have to do more than just tie that battery down to be legit for the track.

The cool idea would be to get a smaller sized battery and hide it in your fender.
