hope you don't mind me posting updates for ya nick but just thought i'd let everyone know the progress so far. my brother, Aaron, and I went over there on Saturday and I can't agree more with Aaron that this truly is one clean coupe.

Anyways, as for the update, I do believe all of the SR5 harness is now out of the car, we dropped the front cross member and steering rack, pulled the master cylinder and brake booster, pulled the clutch slave cylinder and SR5 clutch line, and other misc. things such as the wiper motor, wipers, ect. so he can prep and paint the engine bay like we did on Aaron's silver coupe. Aaron took the tail light to dash wiring harness hoping to be able to convert it from SR5 to GTS. He's basically just gonna try and copy the one that is in the silver coupe. Shouldn't be too difficult.

"Looking good Louis"

Aaron will probably be the only one who gets that but if anyone else knows what that's from, by all means feel free to chime in with the next sentence.

hey guys, sorry i haven't been updating but thank you all for updating for me

everything that has been said here is true. i'm very happy with the progress, i want to thank all of you, especially you, aaron, for helping me source so many parts, i am extremely happy with the paint, it turned out beautifully. Aaron you are a god.

I can not wait to be driving my car again so i can get out here and drive with all of you. GTS was definitely the way to go, should've done it a long time ago. Indeed, the car looks great and is in all around good shape for it's age, but it is still a long ways from what I want. Tomorrow I will finish wet sanding the rest of the engine bay and tape off everything for paint.

Hey Madeinthe80s who is doing your paint?

86nick · Post by **86nick** » Sun Oct 11, 2009 1:59 am

and mooreofmick why do you want a non lsd rear end?

mooreofit · Post by **mooreofit** » Sun Oct 11, 2009 7:50 am

he has a welded diff and just needs ring and pinion.

the car looks awesome!!
