    It's been awhile and I haven't gotten very far with the build but here is just a little update on the interior....

    Removed all the rust in the interior with the grinder

    Then I threw 2 coats of primer on for now

    I forgot to get a close up when I was working on it but after the primer dried up, it looked like it was separating. I wouldn't say cracking because when I tired to pick it with my nail it wasn't chipping away like the crappy exterior body paint. It's probably because the drying was done during high humidity.

    Any ideas?

    For now, the interior will stay like this for awhile until i can finish up clearing and cleaning up the engine bay

    Here where I am now -___- Moving oh so slow

            I don't get what the previous owner did to get rust in your car but that's pretty quick for rust to appear on an 05...

            Thanks for the luck though

                    It's been a while since I've made an update. I've been putting in some work at the job and gathering some parts towards the build. Originality are def in a few of these boxes.

                    So back to the build.. I was able to work with the wiring harness and remove un-needed crap that was attached to the harness and than organized it for the tuck. I forgot to take a before picture of what I started with but wiring is wack

                    Airbag Harness was a pain and was usless since the wheel will be replaced.

                    Stripped and cleaned up the bay and thinking about how simple I can get it to be

                              Short update. Did this to a couple of parts but only snapped picks of the non-treated pedals.
