Really need the coilovers, wheels (so the Avons can be mounted) and the cage. The remaining parts will really help the dynamics of the car, as it is now it is a drift machine unless there is a full tank of gas in it.

Finishing Pieces
Now that the chassis is solid again I have to take care of all the minor details before it is ready to compete. Stuff like seats, mounting the sunroof, fixing the gauge cluster (again).
First up: seat mounts. 3/16" plate steel to adapt the "new" buckets to the original mounts. Will weld some pieces of steel between the two plates to add some more strength.

Did a quick paintjob on the interior, basic white. Easy to clean, easy to touch up.
Picked up a second set of front strut assemblies so that the car would be drivable while I send the strut housing to Ground Control to get rebuilt with some Koni goodness.
After about 3 hours of work they are completely disassmbled and luckily I had a 36mm socket to ge the hub nut off. Hubs will be replaced when I get the assembled struts back.
