Re: $2009 Grassroots Motorsports Build
a good buddy of mine does powdercoating on the side (has a massive oven) Struck a deal tonight to do all the suspension on the car and subframe for basically the cost of the powder, my Fuel cell and a cae of beer.
So this weekend I am gonna build something to dolly the car around on with no suspension

Use the 90 degree angle at both ends of the tube, the only way 90 degree angles will plate the frame. It'll make sense when you get in there.

Re: $2009 Grassroots Motorsports Build
I will have pics tomorrow.... some updates
Started the wire tuck. I filled 40 holes today with the welder, have another 20 or so to go.
That GPS I found in the car? Traded it today + $80 for a Carbon Fibre Hood (ballin)
Pulled the dash for the wire tuck
powerwashed the engine compartment
Welded the engine mounts , they have 4 tacks ea. from the factory
Went to the wreckers, found the identical car with a D15 Vtec swap and some other goodies.
B&M shifter
Crane sport compact ignition (2 step)
MSD coil
Various trim bits
Free!! the guy accidentially sold the stock hood I asked them to hold on to..so he felt bad
I will post up some pics tomorrow. Things are coming along nicely. My buddy traded a rusted POS S-10 for an automatic 90 EF sedan in good shape.. Gonna put a T25 on it , RRFPR and have some fun\
Pics to come

Is this what you meant J.D? Welded the seams back there too
Buddy of mine picked this up for nothing , Auto , not rotten , but dented up. Going to turbo it until she blows then throw in a D15b we have sitting around with an RB25 turbo
