I've sat staring at the car the last few days, and getting tired of seeing this sit in my driveway. So I'm gonna start back up on it and re doing a few things & hopefully push to make this a smog legal deal since cali is so laid back you know...

Decided to cut some sheet metal, plug the vents under the windshield, removing the wiper & gonna extend it to make a true mono wiper like the ACS kit. I haven't decided if I am gonna relocate the fluid res where the blower motor used to be, but if the catch can goes, may just relocate the coolant tank to the battery spot. Also made my own strut reinforcement plates or whatever you'd like to call them, next weekend I plan to aircraft strip the whole engine bay & spray it again in an OEM Cirrus so it flows better.

In an effort to make it smog legal, I found a great deal for a set of stock exhaust mani's (Insert crappy phone screenshot) and bought them. I seriously had two sets, and gave them away for scrap which I totally regret doing now. All I need to make this thing legal is add cats, and swap in an m60 NBD right?

Side note I've had this OEM panel sitting in my garage for 3 years now. It's about time I fixed what the body guy couldn't straighten out, and put it to use. Been working a lot more on my tig time so pretty sure I can finally smash this out with some time and luck. Finally have a straight, correct, and flush tail light piece.
