My Git'rDun items - hopefully completed in time for the Watkins Glen Green Grand Prix on April 20-21:

1) Finish installing the EPES: Externally Powered Electrical System with full complement of fuses, switches etc. My thread at: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tor-20008.html

2) Finish redesigning/building/rebuilding the [EDIT - LINK FIXED] rear spoiler mod. [/EDIT] Right now it's in the garage where it spent the winter. Warmer weather is upon us.
Got the EPES done. Sweet!

Hauled the rear spoiler project out of the garage and got 3 new replacement panels started today.

I replaced my camshaft and rockers, timed it and installed a high rpm damper. I've re-plumbed my intercooler piping, installed new injectors and sensors (intake and coolant temperature, throttle position, wideband O2), re-wired the main relays and built my new MS-III kit. Ready to wire, then on to tuning.

good job!

I got my floor in, front seat mounted, emergency brake mounted, core support built, front cross member built, radiator purchased, a bunch of stuff welded, and a whole lot of other things done.

Car is off to the body guy for finish for the rest of the week.

Ran into a pretty major oopsy - I think I didn't mount one of the control arms correctly - noticed when we pushed it outside on wheels with the steering wheel turning the wheels!!!!!

Need to name this thing.

I have the belly pan foundation done and will put on about 80~85% tomorrow, which is all the coroplast that I have.

Money is a bit tight right now, so I've been working on other parts of the car that I already have parts/supplies for( totally unrelated to the Git-r-done challenge, but still making progress on the car as a whole). I have made some progress on the tail and should have some more supply budget this weekend.
