Looks great! One thing i always keep in mind is “things never go as planned”. Glad to see the bay all painted!

Delays happen but you have the best mindset. The progress on the bay looks stellar. :thumbup:

The thing that surprises me the most about this find is the fact that after all these years, the armrest and badge remained intact with the car. That is the one thing you can never replace on these cars once its gone.

Please keep us updated on the build, man there's just something about the 97's!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Very good eyes inspector gadget! Yes they are RE910. OG tires that still hold air. :mrgreen:

Got some more work done on our annual Whiskey Wednesday. :tinfoil:

Cleaned the underside a bit, got all the suspension bits apart and ready to head to powdercoat, and started running the lines back inside the car. Little by little. 8-)
