Update,

Car is nearing the completion mark. All the drivetrain hardware is in and as you can see the car is just about ready to roll…. With the exception that it has the GD control arms on right now. Im waiting on a pair of GC ones but I wanted to get all the brakes and stuff installed so I put the gd ones in anyways. I have crazy toe in right now. Lol
Im going to do wiring this week and hopefully get another set of control arms… otherwise ill put my steel ones back on but I need new ball joints so im trying to avoid having to do that.

engine bay. Stupid throttle cable from the RS is a tad short. The cruise control was too but it was adjustable. Anyone know if the main cable can be adjusted?

Hey man...I suggest triple waxing those awesome rims since they're virginal.

hehe tooo much... how else was i supposed to get my grease monkeys to work for free!

well the car went in for wiring this week.
decided it was better to have it done right rather than to have it take me 6 months to get it wrong!
