I finished the firewall on the inside. I still have 2 places left to patch where the strut tower braces go through, then on the engine side of the firewall I need to grind and smooth all the edges. I will use silicon caulk to…
The firewall had lots of soft rubber like soundproofing glued on so it took me a while to scrape it off there. I also whent ahead and took the steering column and pedals out to make it easier to work in the car. I got…

The back half of the car is finally done. I can now lift the back end easily. I will try and get some scales tomorrow to find out the actual weight but it isn't much now. Next on the list of things to do is…
