Home for VACATION!!! Woooooo.

Last time i was home, i infused the center section of one of my spoilers.

Got the car completely blocked and wet sanded and ordered the Supplies for paint.

Also ordered an aluminum coolant overflow bottle:

I have no idea where to put it though.

Option #1- dont use the bottle and just plumb the overflow from the radiatoe cap back to the nipple on the top of the radiator like a normal mod motor degas bottle setup. Which would be the orange hose.

Then there are the following options. All except for the one where it is at the back of the core support above the scott rod panel will be in the way of the (eventual) turbo setup.

This is turning out awesome.

I like the placement in front of the radiator. But I would stand it up just to be safe.

Heres the forward edge of the drivers sail panel compared to the as sprayed roof panel. Only 2 of the 3 buffing stages have been done. Im waiting on the 3rd stage ultrafine polish to arrive.

I have gotten basically everything i wanted to get done car wise on this vacation and i still have 5 days left after the 4 1/2 day trip i picked up off overtime. Lol

Im hoping to be cruising around sometime this summer, but i need tires and ive got bills due that will keep me from buying any for awhile.
I need to sell another T1 spoiler. Lol

Selling products you make to fund the tires/ other parts is something to take pride in for sure.
