well... rough day to say the least. Flux core just grinds my gears a bit haha but here's a pic of the driver side to hold over until i get back next week to continue making frustrated. Not done shaving it but it's almost done and ready to start filling. 

still rough but getting there

finally got back home to work on the car. will be doing more grinding tomorrow and getting the box for the dizzy cap and water lines finished up. Couple of nights ago I made a little .gif to show an idea I have for my relay panel however. Basically, I'm going to have the relay's, fuses, and bridges on the firewall box (with heat reflective tape on the engine bay side to keep it cool.) Over this however I wanted to put an L.E.D confirmation panel that will light up when the relay's turn on. I have L.E.D's on my switch panel already, but this is pretty much purely for trouble shooting down the road (if the switch turns on but the part doesn't work and the led doesn't light up for relay confirmation I know that the relay isn't working, so on so forth.) With this however I want to put a few fan's to aid in keeping the wiring cooled down. Since I like having thing's look clean I want to cover all of this with a sheet of tinted plexiglass so that when the car's off the panel looks empty, when it lights up the led's will show through. The gif is pretty basic and dumbed down, also I won't be wiring it exactly like that (for security reason's) but you'll at least get the idea. 

(hopefully that turns out as pretty as it looks in my head)

In other new's for the car my jdm kouki cluster got broken by a tool bag that crashed on top of it  instead of buying another one and paying $200 for it I looked around for another option that I liked (inspired by the s2000 cluster) but making sure to keep it toyota based. Had a couple idea's and almost got one from an ae101 but found a deal I couldn't pass up. I'm still waiting for it to come in, and it's only to 180km/h (not 300) but it's still got the tom's overlay
