More progress today! I'm single so I didn't have to waste my time with today's Hallmark holiday. Hence, more productivity in the garage! I dropped the FWD fuel tank (which was much more of a PITA than the AWD tank was), and I prepped the rear suspension. The GST's underside is pretty much gone now. Next step is to weld the driveshaft supports in place and rewire the fuel tank wiring. (both of which are going to suck ass) PICS:

Oh my goodness my poor baby's all upset!!!! (the car Paul, the car) lol Dont worry - she's not upset. It's like getting your colon cleaned - the process sucks, but the end result is always better... (And no, I've never clensed my colon - I'm just bored and slap happy right now, and I felt like talking about my ass....)

All of the cutting is done - I just haven't updated in a while. All is left is a little welding and bolting up the new stuff. I just need to pick up some gas for my welder (which I'm doing today) and I'm set. I'll post a bunch of new pictures after this weekend. The car might actually be rolling by next week. No new spoiler pics yet. It's been done at the body shop for the past 8 weeks, but I'm letting ti sit there because I have no place to put it at my house. I'll be taking the hatch home in about a month, so I'll post up pics then.

Little more to add: I got the rear driveshaft support tacked in place. I'm going to verify it's in the right place and then finish welding it on. I did a little work to the belly pan for the fuel tank. I snaded it down to remove all of the rust, and then I welded the straps on it, instead of relying on old rusty bolts. And then I strayed it with some black rubberized coating. My buddy Evan welded this fitting on the top of my fuel pump plate for me. This allows be to use AN fittings from the pump, forward, without modifying the way the pump mounts and hooks up. All assembled and ready to go. I should be installing the tank tomorrow.

Last night: I finished welding thr rear DS support in, and I studded the frame, front and rear, for the fuel tank straps to bolt to: Apparantly, nobody has ever taken the time to lay out the proper fuel tank wiring in a nice little diagram. No, I did it. Hopefully this is correct though. Then, I mounted the fuel tank by myself because Dale was drunk. This wasn't too bad though. And I prepped the rear subframe. I installed my previous caliper brackets and rotors, new suspension, and previous upper control arms and mounts.
