Went out today and spent another 3 hours grinding,preping,and welded in what i think is the rest of the holes to be welded,also took off the master cylinder and cleaned and painted it. I will also remove and paint the booster as well,but that will be when i install the new clutch cabler and quadrant and firewall adjuster.I'm hoping to have it bondoed monday and primed and hopefully a coat of paint wednesday!

Well i'm not a machinest i'm a welder/fabricator but i can run the lath mill and all other tools,plus i can paint. I can do a number of things.I'm not in a rush but while i'm laid off for these few weeks i'm bored sitting in the house and when i set my mind to doing something i dont f around, Our winters here arent snowy just rainy,so i can still drive the car if the streets are dry.I'm tackling the bay and relocating the battery to the hatch first.Then i'll tackle the cowl and slight roof damange and paint the hood,then i'll be welding in my sub frame connecters i made,the adjustible anti roll bar for the rear,welding the TQ boxes up installing my tubular front member and arms coil overs and so forth.After that i'll move onto the rear end installing better axles c clip eliminaters tighter possi and 4.10's,also will be pieceing together my turbo kit as well.Has it been 3 weeks already :jaw:?Dam i'm behind schdule! Theres no real reason i traded the coupe,i just wanted something diffrent,i still have my 4 banger coupe so no biggie.I'm not out of drag racing this will still be a drag raced car,just not a 100%street/drag car. I want a nice drag/street/show car.I'm about to leave the GF's place and need to get some sand paper i'll post more pics from today's progress later and also the ones i have still from earlier this week that i havent posted yet.Like i said i'm hoping to prime today or monday and spray color on it this mid/end of the week! My boss said i should be back to work in 2 weeks so i need to focus and stop being lazy this next week.As of this point in progress it's turning out 100% better then the coupe did and i'm so excitted about it.Stay tuned...................................peace
