When is it getting painted? I can't wait to see it. Looks awesome !

Car is going to the bodyshop first week of March. That gives me two months before the snow melts...

Did you try working on the fitment? Can we see more photos?

wheee! · 01-15-2014, 10:29 AM

The fitment is good but I am not going to play with it anymore myself. I don't want to damage anything and the pros will know the best way to move the parts closer. I am only out 1/4" on the passenger headlight and bumper and that can be heated and pushed closer. The rest of the adjustment to the hood is just a matter of finessing the hinge mounts a bit. What else did you want to see? I can take more pics if you want.

I was just curious if you had any progress. I'm sure it will look great once fitted and painted well.

I see. Well, I am on a course in February for 3 weeks and won't be back till the last week of the month, so I have arranged for it to go in to the body shop in the first week of March. That will allow more snow to melt hopefully and getting the car to the bodyshop will be easier too!
The shop is estimating a two to three week turnaround time and I am allowing 2 months... so it should be good!

Installed a TWM short shifter today! Very nice unit with ball bearing action. Looking forward to running it through the gears on the road in 3 months

Jealous!

wheee! · 02-24-2014, 09:44 PM

Nice and smooth thru the gates and reverse is a cinch. Smooth throws with the ball bearing linkage. Install was easy except I have to go back and try and reattach the linkage boot again tomorrow. Probably have to drop the drive shaft to get at it.

Pictures Mark...

wheee! · 02-24-2014, 09:48 PM

Meh. It's been done a thousand times before. I didn't bother snapping pics. But I will get one of the new shift height for you soon.

Mr&Mrs · 02-25-2014, 08:54 AM

Getting close to paint and body, can't wait. Please get details from the shop on fitment of this brand Amuse Rep. I'm curious to hear what they say.
