Got a little more work done over the weekend.
Mocked up the dashboard to be able to mark where I can run my brake hard lines.

Dusted off the Recaro bucket to be able to mark my drilling locations for the seat harness install.

Tried the TE's on the car. Love that they're original finish and are in great shape but I may have to refinish them down the road. Not sure about the silver and white. Bronze maybe?

I like that they offer all black hardware as an option, plus a military discount :thumbup:
Sup Chuy! Yeah the all black Option was a must! How are your builds doing?
I've collected about 80% of the parts for the CDM R but got a little side tracked putting together a 00 EK for track duties. I miss racing but not having to keep repainting the lip on PYR haha. But I'm almost done with the EK, just waiting to get the trans back from a re build and should be good to go. I see the pace is picking up on your build :thumbup: :thumbup:

Nice! Love the EK chassis. I'm sure that car will be a solid track car. Yeah now that it's back from it's looong paint job, things are moving at a good pace. Hope to bring it out later this year.

A little update.

Got the driver and passenger windows on with almost all new OEM moldings.

Picked up a few pieces
Front and rear Endless brake pads
(unfortunately I ordered the wrong front pads as these are for OE calipers and not the Endless calipers so they are for sale if anyone is interested!)

A big thanks to @coolhandluke for storing these window visors for a couple of years.

A bit of free time this weekend gave me the chance to drill a few holes for the brake hardware and wire harness firewall grommet

Nice, did you run any primer or paint over the exposed metal from cutting?

Living legend - Nothing less.

In an era where stock and pristine is held on its highest pedestal (as it should) it's refreshing to see a build with usage in mind. Keep up the great work my ninja.
