Got the bay painted yesterday. Looks really nice. My buddy the painter is also my buddy the powdercoater. Taking a crapload of stuff to him tomorrow for some satin black coating. Then it will be time to start installing the stuff.

No. I did all the prep-work myself. Filling where the seamsealer left off then sanding with 60 grit then 150 then 380. I put 2 coats of primer then he came the next day and painted. Looks really good. Can't wait to see it start getting back together.-BryantComment

Charlie, As you can see I welded in the supports like you suggested. Wasn't going to because it seemed like it was good enough. BUT after you told me, the 2nd and 3rd time, to make sure I welded them in I figured you musta experienced a reason for doing so.Originally posted by Gomez View Post-BryantComment

Got a couple things done this afternoon
FINALLY got my seats back this weekend. They came from a 92 Toyota MR2. They are super comfortable and keep you nice and snug in place. I have them mounted a bit higher than a stock Festiva but might try and lower them about 3/4". The headrests are not done yet cause I am gonna try and fine something from another car that will look a bit sleeker than what comes with the MR2 seats. They are kinda fat and ugly. A Festy LX headrest almost fits but the posts are about an inch too wide to fit in.
Next task is getting back into the engine bay to mock up the shifter linkage and get it all welded nice and proper. Then will probably start getting the bumper back on then maybe the cover.-BryantComment
