After about five years of sitting in the garage under a cover virtually untouched I began to work on her. Did a few minor things last night. My goal is to bring the car back to stock as much as possible while keeping a few aftermarket go fast goodies on there. Next big job is to pull the engine and make her run! But for now here is what I did.
1. Installed new rubber muffler hangers after my $hitty KartBoy hangers disintegrated into mush. These are made by Walker and are a solid piece. Keeps the muffler right in it's place like the TartBoy ones did when they were new.
2. Cleaned her up a little. Got rid of all the spiderwebs everywhere. Of course being CleanSER I gave her a quick waxing. Look at that shine on the hood!

3. This "cut line" behind the front wheel has always been one of my favorite design elements on the b13. (Notice the extra "track rubber" on the tires from the last track day back in 2009!)
4. Took out my old circa 1995 Alpine cassette deck head unit and swapped an OEM unit back in. Much better.
Not like I'm going to listen to the radio much in there anyway...
5. Swapped out my old circa 1996 white painted grill for an oem black one. The little clips were a PITA to do so I completed that part in my house last night. Will install today. I'm glad I never painted the mirrors and door handles white either. I'm not going for the Miami Vice Testarossa all white everything look...
6. Been a long time since I saw this view in action. I miss it. (Yes, that's a Shift-I programmable LED Tach)
7. Convention "swag" hanging from the mirror...
