I started the metal work on the doors (still much more to do)

I installed six 10/24 rivnuts. The pods/speakers are attached with ss button head allens.

Two years and over 400 hours of labor I finally made some sound. I also finally dipped into the 100% stock motor after all these years and installed a head with all the trimmings, port and polish, Techtonics Tuning street cams and adjustable cam sprocket, light weight lifters and titanium retainers. I found a euro 50mm intake manifold (something I wanted since the early 90's) Spent some time on it removing all the casting marks then sent it and the valve cover out to powder coat.

I was planning on using an old 4V Alpine cd player and continue the center console/cup holder all the way to the front under the dash but decided to use my AC Three.2 EQ and keep the floorboard under the dash open like the early Rabbits.

I modded some seat belts from a 2016 Polaris RZR to work.

Next will be to seal up the doors.
