Yup, building it in the living room :)

Trying to keep internals clean while building, plus it's a lot cooler in the house than in the garage ;)
Divorced sparrated or never married? as I know no wife would let such things go on in "her" house.

my second used to get mad at me for baking enameled engine parts in the oven.

Not married. I had an exe girlfriend living with me a couple years ago......yeah she wouldn't have been too happy about me building the motor in the house. Hell she wouldn't have been happy about the parts just laying around house. :)

My ex didn't care about the car parts as long as she wasn't living there, but she HATED the bikes since she had some irrational hatred for the things. It's great completely rebuilding an old bike in the living room now.

-LookAsubie: I was wondering if you had a write-up on doing that front lip, or if you had a part number for the piece that you used. Looks nice as so do the HID'S, which is on my list down the road!

For the lip its just a garage door seal lip. Not sure on the part number but if you go look in the garage door bottom area you will see it. Its the 9ft one and you just cut off the extra once you get close to the end of your bumper. The lip is like $9.27 and is flexible and wont break like other expensive ones.

You can put it on however you think will work best.. Me and my friends just use a hot glue gun and it works pretty well. takes like 30 mins to put on if you take your time.

And thank you for the compliments :-)

No shit my sunroof leaks and I can't drive the car anymore because washington rains 2/3 of the year. I was going to silicone it shut for the winter but I read on some other forums that silicone eats away paint from acid in the silicone or something.

Jesus, 5 hours? I guess it took me a good amount of time too, it's been a while.

Don't remember what I used but it worked. Started leaking again but I took out two spacers to even it out and now it doesn't again.

I'm really not looking forward to pulling the headliner again to fuck with the sunroof again. I think it might be the drain hoses though because BigGreen96 (I think) sold me the sunroof and he resealed it with silicone already so assuming he did a good job, it shouldn't leak.
