Type R Club of America

I’m a big fan of how the bay is turning out. Looking fresher than it did when it was on the showroom floor! Looking forward to your updates.

Thanks man, I just need my coworkers to stop leaving the bay cover half off. It's getting so dusty . I may not be touching this for a while, maybe never again, but only time will tell.

Looking good Joel

Thanks Issac

Well it's been a while fellas; so much has happened in life and I've done nothing but neglect this car. Since the last update: my daughter started college; I've bought some subarus (hence the neglect, hehe #noragrets); and we've purchased our very own first home. I normally work on the car here and there when I feel motivated. For whatever reason the hype and over saturation of R's has left me indifferent to completing it. One of the major issues that kept me from progressing was finding some clean rear interior panels. After "Ten-hundred and two" tries, a legion of miles, a few flakes, I had finally scored some pretty clean ones (stored horribly but safely).


some light spring cleaning and some schweet rear panels











don't mind the BGJ; tackled the undercarriage and began some so re-installation.

Congratulations on the progress! Looks great.

I know first hand how large a project these are and how keeping momentum is the biggest challenge.

Man I just went through all 38+ pages of your thread that I've missed. Loved it all bruh.

Joel you really have 00-0874 looking good! Hopefully one day we'll finally meet and I can see this caR at expo

I can relate on sourcing interior plastics. I kick myself for not reinstalling mine before the move. Oh well...

Congrats on the home purchase! That's a monumental step. It also brings home projects, so time scarcity is understandable. Car projects should be fun, otherwise, what's the point of this hobby? Either way, best wishes, and enjoy the time with home, family, and cars.

You know what, I'll make a promise to at least keep it until then.

Oh no man, I hope they survived the journey. It's definitely a hard find.

It's definitely been the biggest joy as a father. It was built for us, as we are family oriented it's the perfect hosting house without being over the top.

Apologies for the late replies.
