Wow today was a long day but i made some progress. I pulled out all the interior behind the seats to make ready for the Hard Dog roll bar. Not hard to due but takes a few hours. I kinda like the war the car looks without the stock roll hoops. I dont know how much all the stuff i took out wieghts but it was a lot i would say at leasts 65-70 lbs.
I spent another 3 hours to pull the exhaust manifold because it had devoped a few pinholes and needed to be fixed. Nothing major but it was quite audible and was leaking out quite a bit of hot exhaust gases causing the car to run too rich. I'm off to Scotts tomorrow to have hin reweld it and then put everthing back together. Not looking forward to reataching the drain line for the turbo as it took me an hour just to get the two allen bolts out. Can't imagine how long its going to take to put those bolts back in.
Found this little guy near my fuel tank right behind my drivers seat

Almost done Dibi! Little baby things getting you now. Car will be solid when you are done!
Yeah the car does look pretty neat without all the plastic trim and the roll hoops. Taking the interior apart is no fun but doing it now will save some time on install day. Mike needs to do his! You probably took out about 50lbs out of the car from my weight chart and you will be putting that back in with the roll bar.
I have had wicked mice issues this year myself... The almost got the S (they did get my xB
) Peppermint and Spearmint oil combination worked awesome to keep them out of the cars, not to mention make them smell a bit better.

Lol. I knew there was a reason this car had such bad luck
Just got back from a ride car sounds and feels really good. Now just need to tighten everything down again and hopefully she we hold together.
