No light, check your owner's manual if you have one. Mine stated my car didn't have a light for 1988.

Get a bigger impact and hammer down on that thing. Try and get a pry bar behind the mount to put pressure on the back of the bolt or use @General karthief idea and jack up or hoist the engine up a little to put pressure on it. I doubt the bolt is stripped, the rubber around it has broken and now...

I welded the S550 front seats to Fox brackets. I love the way they look and feel.

Thanks! It really pops in the sun. It looks really dark and smoky in the shade too. Cool color.

The first day I drove her home after she spent months at the shop.

I probably should have done this before the car had fresh paint :O_o::cool:

I got the spoiler and rear bumper on first and then messed with the front. I did the original tooling bumpers and they are really nice, but I'm still dealing with a little sag in the middle of the rear bumper and a little bit of a droop on the right front. I might even have to take them off...

Look how different the color looks in low light. More of a slate blue.

Thanks man!

So I rolled the fenders, taped her up and it was finally time. When it gets to that point of rolling it in the booth, you start to freak out and try to think of every little place on the car you rubbed. Did I sand it enough? Did I wipe it down enough? Is it really ready!? And then the paint...

Thanks! I'm really happy with how it turned out. They're coming, I'm slow, lol.

I pulled the spoiler into the sun for the first time and almost had to change my pants. So much flake!!! I didn't really see a test panel before I shot anything, I just trusted our paint rep when he said he could add flake. I was really happy with the color and how nice it laid down. This is the...

I'll keep on trucking, we're finally to the good part, PAINT! There is nothing quite as dramatic as rolling a primer car into the booth and then rolling out a wet and sexy paint job the next morning. We started with the hood, bumpers, hatch and spoiler. A sealer was put on first, then color and...

Because I have issues, lol. I don't know, I felt burnt out and a little lost with the whole project. I was in over my head and didn't really have a clear vision for the reef car. I was starting to buy parts that I would end up selling a month later so I decided to take a break. After working at...

I was offered an OEM set of 98 cobra wheels and I couldn't say no. I thought the dark gray would go well with the medium blue. I know they aren't very original but they were cheap and I'll run them for now. They are growing on me...

More filling, guide coating, blocking and sanding...

I'll keep rolling through this, I don't like talking in the past. And I have way better pics to share, lol. We sprayed the car in primer next and it really helped my psyche. I was so sick of sanding already and had a long ways to go. Seeing it in primer gave me a lot of motivation to keep going...

I got the hatch, hood and spoiler ready for primer and we sprayed them first. It was encouraging to see them a different color after rubbing and sanding and prepping for hours. They came out great and I guide coated them, ready to block.

The hatch needed a ton of work after removing the LX spoiler and it had quite a bit of surface rust on the top. I should have found a GT hatch to use or even one that was a little more straight, but I'm stubborn. I was learning a lot though, I had never really blocked, mixed mud, guide coated or...
