    She's 99.9% finished!











    New Wheels will be coming next week, and the Tow Hook will be installed as well!

    Other than that, we are almost wrapped up. Glass was installed yesterday and harnesses are good to go!

    I like that second pic. The sideview is my favorite view of the car.

    Is it just the angle of the pics or is the back end higher than the front?

    U mean the fronts higher than the back, looks like it is, a little suspension adjustment needed.

    How did you attach the top of the inside door panels?

    You should notch the engine cover where it meets the rear fenders, it will sit down better

    yes. I was thinking i wrote "back end lower than the front" bottom line looks like its raked a bit and the rear fender looks closer to the top of the wheel than the front. I am shooting zero these last 2 days. lol.

    Andrew or Kyle,
    Did you check the thread engagement of the rear upper link. I don't remember the end link being that long.

    Yes, but can someone like your neighborhood tire shop be trusted to align a 5 link rear? I think a race car specialized shop might have to be sourced.

    I see you have an 818S listed on eBay. Good luck looks like your getting a lot of bids. Car looks terrific.
