Still here and still SANDING!!!!!!

Little advice about that carpet, let it sit somewhere for as long as possible before installing it, and since i know its cold there find some way to get it hot before you install it, it will make life so much easier when you try and fit that carpet to the car since it isnt the most pliable stuff on the planet and when its warm you have an easier time getting it to stick the the spray adhesive

NICE engine bay!

i've noticed several guys have smoothed the "notch" where the sway bar gets mounted. how do you re-install the sway bar when you block off the mount?

I welded in bolts on the sway bar bracket, so now the sway bar is attached with nuts.

Thats exactly what i did, I welded in stainless 3/8 bolts so now i attach the sway bar from the bottom with nuts.

Yeah spray adhesive will help get all the wrinkles out when you install it and keep it from sliding around, and remember, DONT trim he carpet more times than not the carpet is too short anyhow, just fold the edges at where it meets the interiors pieces then if you need to go back later and trim it once everything has settled in

Well............ I need motivation!
I have to sand down a rear GT bumper that has been painted atleast 4 different times and is cracking horribly.
I have to cut out the two rusted areas and weld in new metal.
And i have to sand the front Gt bumper.Which isnt in that bad of shape.
Im just not Motivated for some reason.
