Thanks. So true, they’re never really done. Can only hope to be driving it again soon

If anyone could identify areas that need attention, it’s you. I remember following your firewall mods, I just don’t remember it taking this long

You can kinda tell from the shadows in the areas at the top above the A/C area and just above the parking brake “hump”. I grabbed a new durablock to help with getting those areas flat. Once I complete that, along with a few little niggles inside the wiring gutter, I think I’ll finally be happy with it...

Oh, it took long, I probably didn't post it right after I did the work... Or maybe I knocked it out over a few weekends because I really wanted it done (filler work at least). I know my metal fab took FOREVER!!! Or at least that's how it felt. I also didn't have a distraction in the form of a K5.

I think you're grasping at straws... I can't see anything on my screen. You'll get it though. Progress, no matter how slow, is still progress and better than the alternative. You're doing good... keep going!
