So left to be fixed:
2. Peeling paint on the trunk and front bumper
6. Rusted exhaust, especially the catalytic converters
7. Finicky hood latch
8. Partially cracked hood Is this gonna be a drift car or a show car?

I bought Sparco harnesses and Sparco seat bases. 150$ and 403$, respectively. I should have a cage priced out tomorrow.
And the damn breaking down problem left me stranded in traffic today.

Sounds like its coming along. Have you found out why its overheating, or why it has trouble starting yet? Also along with the sway bar youll prolly want/need caster and camber adjustmetns, and mayb subframe connectors.

It doesn't seem like an overheating problem. I've got a lot of things to try and replace though. And my price for a rollcage is 860$ dollars including subframe connectors.

Racefabbed. 800$ Harnessed. 150$ But I now have a legitimate race car. I'd be happy if the stupid company would ship my helmets though, as it doesn't seem like I'm going to get them in time for Saturday. And my meager tire collection.  And a new fuel filter came from Carquest. Here's to hoping the "Not Running" issue is fixed with it.
