hey justn....i'm in the same boat with you...i have no idea when i'm getting my baby back. my shop knows that i want it done right, so if it takes a extra couple days....then take them. funny thing, i stopped by the shop monday to drop a few things off...i never asked about the car, they never said anything about the car in the 10 minutes i was there. so...i'm entrusting them to get the car back to me as good as new. of course i set the bar high...i told them when i come to pick up the car, i'll be bringing my microscope, and they said, we'll be ready for you.

all we can do is wait.

Car is completed.
dont have time to look at it today.
will do tomorrow.


I havent seen the car, but this is what they told me. they told me the grill is left out because it didnt fit due to the base hood trim
So, I'll have to buy the hood trim myself to complete the type-s conversion.
I think.
Guitarplayer, please confirm!!!
