As of now I plan on filling the hatch recess. I like how clean it looks that way.

Yeah, my exhaust was cut on that car for some reason already, so it was going to need to be welded one way or another. I'm on the hunt for some sideskirts....I found some I wanted but they were broken, so my hunt continues. I wish I had more time to work on it!Originally posted by sasquatch View Postthat front bumper looks cool and woulf make a awesome bumper for a BIG fmic

Yeah, I think I'm just going to route the exhaust to the driver's side anyway. The exhaust was already cut for some reason, so I was going to have to fix/replace it either way. The only problem I see with bringing the exhaust to the driver's side is the spare tire well being in the way. I figure since the spare tire well is pretty much rusted out, I'm just going to cut it out completely and weld in some flat metal. That will leave plenty of room to route the new exhaust.Originally posted by Festiva_tunner View Postthat exaust hole could be cut out, relocated to the other side, and the old hole filled in"Lane, I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years.

Haven't had much time to work on it lately. Slowly working on the aspire swap though. What's the best method for keeping the brake lines from leaking all the brake fluid while I'm in the process of the swap? Can I plug them with anything? Also, what is the benefit of switching to studs/lug nuts over keeping the festy lug bolts? Right now I plan on having the miata daisy wheels with the swap, but that may change."Lane, I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy."

Still very slow going as far as progress goes. I try to get something done and then run into snags the whole way. I have 3/4 of the aspire swap done, along with the aspire sway bar too. As of now I'll be sticking with the Miata daisy wheels, unless I can get the other wheels a buddy of mine says he'll sell (he doesn't seem very motivated though!)
