I'm buying what appears to be a near mint condition light up center garnish today or tomorrow. No, I will not tell you what I'm paying for it. ;)

The midwing will not be making an appearance. Decided I'm sticking to OEM stuff. It's a good quality replica wing, but it's still a replica. Perhaps I will get silly with the 92, but the 91 is gonna be good ole OEM+, at least on the exterior. <3 my Carbing strut bar and DC shift knob.

Hatch was too rotted to reuse. New clean one ordered up from NC. Don't want that light up garnish falling off lol

Carpet ordered up too. Looking at Bride XAX IIs. $1,000+ a piece in black and leather. That might take a little time to pull off, but I definitely think it'll happen. My wife actually suggested it. "What about these seats without the huge leg things?" she says. XD

Rear quarters and hatch look brand new. My hood is "dented to s**t" so gonna replace that and the fenders too with OEM stuff. This place down south has the nicest damn parts, gonna be mostly another car by the time we're done with it a month from now lol

Sounds like some progress is being made. Can't go wrong with all OEM panels. Any pics?

Finally stopped by the shop and got some pics. This rusty ass side with part of the outer well rusted away



Is gonna look like this side soon:



Gonna be replaced with these nice ass pieces:



Few more randoms:







And he started on the hood and decided less hours to get a clean one than fix all the dings and bumps in mine:



Center garnish shipped yesterday, woo hoo! Was thinking maybe the guy didn't wanna part with it, although he said he went out of town for work for a few days. Regardless, pics when it gets here. :D
