I don't mean to rain on your parade, but I feel that I should warn you about your battery support.

You either need to rethink that one, or put HUGE backup washers on the fuel tank side of that firewall. That mount will tear off that firewall eventually. (ask me how I know this)

I suggest doing something about it prior to reinstalling your fuel tank.








I just bought a battery box at walmart => $6.00


just my $0.02

Thanks Johnman,

I have some good sized washers there already but maybe I will reinforce them or cut some steel strip and make some support.

I still have to take it out once more to fix the front trunk... easy fix.

HL covers on and time to wet sand.

Always a good idea to cover your edges with automotive tape to prevent sand thru.

Hood after sanding.

Sorry folks camera died after this...

But .. tons of sanding and buffing followed. I still feel I should buff some more but I will let the paint "recure" before another assault.

Back end badges.

I used 3-M emblem adhesive and ground the mounting tangs off the emblems.

That way if I want to remove them in the future... no holes to fill (can you say 3.2 baby???)

Sooo you thought I was close to done and driving. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


After I drove it few times I quickly realized that the front end was a mess and I was running rich.

Soooo... off with the front wheel for ball joints, tie rod ends and struts (bilstiens)

and off with the engine lid cause I can't get my fat head in there to work on anything with it on.

Running much better now and front end is good as new.
