So get this. I call the body guy today, figured it's mid week should be close to being done with my parts. Nope. He's had the parts for a week and a half and has not even touched them yet. On top of that, it's a short week because of the holiday. So looks like I won't get them back until next week sometime.

I know it's not all that bad. I'm just getting anxious to drive the car again. Besides, the guy reassured me that it would be ready by the end of the first week. lol, so much for that.

Here's some pics of what I chose to go with for a coolant overflow bottle. Didn't like the looks of the yellowed factory bottle. Those boxy aluminum ones look too over powering in the engine bay. So I found this little guy. Dimension are 3"x10" (w x l) it's bottom fed so you can't see too much of the hose. There is a second tube for run off that sticks up almost to the top inside the bottle. Anyways, pics of it and installed.





Opinions and comments?

Thanks man. As for the overflow, good ol ebay! Was listed for hot rods or something along those lines. Just search stainless steel overflow, should find a few.

Thanks all. How about this tho, give me a few days or so to actually start the car and let it come up to temp to see if this thing actually works correctly! LOL Don't see why it would not, but you never know with ebay.

Time for another small update! So far the coolant overflow seems to be working ok, I'll be putting it to the test on the dyno soon! I also got my fenders and kit back from the body guy, FINALLY!!! Came out pretty good, now I just need to put it all on and have my buddy buff the rest of the car.

This is kinda a crappy pic, poor lighting on that side of the shop. I'll definitely post some when its all on the car.

Thanks man, but the snow plow is only on there long enough to get the money for a SuperMade kit. Speaking of, anyone want to buy a freshly painted version select III kit? lol

So I got a few more things done on the vert. Put on the fenders, headlights, corner lights and grill. Painted the windshield frame so it's now ready for glass, prolly let the paint harden over the weekend and get one put in sometime next week. Was also playin with the cell and found that it has filters for picture taking! LOL The little things that amuse me.

So I was able to do some more on the car today! Got me a new windshield too! Anyways, enough talk...on with the pics!

I can't wait for the first bird to try to fly through it!

A couple shots with the front bumper bolted on.



And finally a rear shot.

The side skirts will be going on as soon as I do my oil change. Don't want to mess them up on the lift!

Once again, drinking too much of the adult beverage! The wheels are on the car (at least the ones that will be there for now) and the kit is painted. Look up a few posts on this page bro! LOL

Hey man, don't get like that. I've been collecting parts for about 3-4 years now. Some have been on other cars, some are new. That and this vert sat for over a year dead. If I did not have a DD Subie, this project would have been rushed and not look anything like this!
