so far the project has been about 5 grand for various parts and services. i bought a handful of parts along the way as well that add to this total. its going to be more once the car is finished though, still have a couple things to pay for

done with the interior, got an update, heads will be done wednesday and ready for me to pickup. not really much to do now. fixed a couple things that were bugging me, steering rack lines up good now, which is nice, i had a problem with that awhile back.

I also have a set of sparco sprints coming in on monday that are going in, got a killer deal on them, never used, 430 shipped for 2 compared to 600 + shipping. pretty happy about that
