The calm before the storm....

I get my Ve5 tonight at about 6 PM!!!!!!!!! aah i can't wait but theres alot of work to do

Things that hafta be done in 24 hrs.
-swapping ALL the interior from (2 cars) (still cant figure out how to pull the side panels off , around the seatbelts, help?)
-swapping all the suspension

but on a lighter note: I got this shift boot in today from www.redlinegoods.com
the quality of this boot is amazing... if u don't have one .. get one!

I asked for double stitch and it came out GREAT,,, the pics don't do it justice

Yup got the shifter and e-brake boot and love them. Thanks Dan for working with the guy to get these made.

to get the C pillar panel off take the one clip off of the bottom (I believe it is one of those push in the center type connectors) then just pull. There are a bunch of clips on that panel so it is a little difficult but there are no screws just clips so just pull.

not the blue... hehe

-this is one night after I got the car.............. the entire interior smells like strawberries
- my friend and I swap ALOT out in 4 hours...(before I managed to slice my thumb open with a box cutter, I might need a stitch or 2, I dunno)
-we swapped the headliners and all the seatbelts except the rear right, (we broke a craftsman socket on the bolt OMG) that bolt is going to need an impact hit.
-I got the VG almost done 100%

... I really don't like the color at all.
...I miss my vg already
...my thumb is going to take forever to heal...
... its raining hard now.. so i dont think im going to work on it at all... ill get some good pics up asap

~We've got a lot of rain, flooded a bunch of stuff, thats all. I like that color a lot.
~they say once youve had a VE you never go back....err maybe they dont say that, but i bet they would. (i mean you gained like 30 stock horseys)
~did or didnt feel like working on it? have you gotten everything in it?
~try a diff liquid bandaid (tequila or j.d. works magic)

yea they do, i saw the part @ autozone. They have the repair kit. its just goes over the area you want to repair,,Congrats on the ve, you know you had the vg and so did i, you will not regret it. The onlything i miss about it was the keyless entry. Other than that, stick+190 ponies=
