    Build my engine and boost the sh*t out of it. If I manage to do that by summer, or at least by the end of the year, I will be extremely happy

    Lol well shit, guess I'm done.....nahh. There's still a lot to go. I'm happy with it, but see so much more down the line.

    Install Zoom Winkers
    Install Beatrush Latches
    Finish Lip Install
    Get a KG or similar Mirror.
    Tan Lotus seats (If I can swing them)
    Shorty Rear Flaps
    Tow Hooks
    Side Stripes (Maybe)
    GV Hood (If I can swindle one)
    Wooden Steering Wheel

    That's enough for now.

    Install the parts I have
    Install rollbar
    Finish the suspension setup I have in mind
    Wheels
    Paintwork (maybe full respray, we shall see)
    Finish interior...at least V1
    Decide on forced induction
    Collect even more parts
    Lots of DIYing and driving.
