PO had a "custom" exhaust with dual pipes. And made a kinda-symmetrical cut in the valence. But not really. I want a stock muffler and single tail pipe, so this cut has to go.

Progress at the body shop. This week they got onto my car. They finished the hand sanding on the body and doors, and were starting on the trunk lids.

The plan is to paint the underside today, while still on the rotisserie, and then put the car on the dolly, remove the interior brace, and paint the interior and topside tomorrow and Friday. BTW, I did get to see the new color on the headlight covers--but will keep the suspense a few more days.

They also did most of the seam sealing, but need to hit a few more spots.

I also picked up another batch of parts from the powder coat shop. More shiny.

Next up, brakes. I have not seen these since last year. It looks like all parts are present, including on the rear calipers. I think the logical thing is to send these off to PMB, along with the proportioning valve.

The other thing I want to send out is the seat belts, for re-webbing. The hardware needs some attention, too.

For the receivers, I removed the wiring for the warning lights.
