So my painter just got out of the hospital so there is a short delay on Gracie.  He tried to go to the shop to work on it but I told him to to take it easy, his health comes first.  He had a large intestine infection.
 
Update: block is done being line bored with the jay raceing main caps. So ill be picking it up and droping it back of at the other machine shop. Paint is about done. It would have been finnished but I told him to take his time because I am moveing and I don't want to move the car twice. Other than that everything is fine.

Soooooo my carbon fiber hood was kinda messed up. It was ok on the old car. But with everything so pristine it stood out. I thought about buying another, but I can spend that money on other things. Tell me what y'all think.

Got GRACEY almost fully put back together. Gotta go to the dealer to order some new door locks. I'm very pleased.
 
I have went back and looked at the old pics of the this car.  I can't believe it has come this far.  I'm so amazed.
 
GRACEY is home finally. I am moving to my new house on the 15th so I think I will let her sit until we get to the new garage

I wrapped it because it will be a while before I put it on. #I wouldn't want it to get damaged during the move.

Got my lights back, and I must say I am soooo excited to see what 2gb eclipse light will look like on a 2gb talon.  I took the time to swap the lenses so I won't have that gap between the bumper and the lens.
