Nope. I have not been driving this soon to be nice piece of work since it got cold and rainy. It's been on my carport ever since.

Kind of both. I have alot of engineering school underneath me even though I finished up with a business degree.

I was going into aerospace engineering and had 2 years in when I changed my major.

I have about three years of metal shop working underneath me too.

I have alot of practice but I have never put it into action as much as I have with this project.

you should make a thread about it, and you should make a thread about the carpet cover for the front too. My carpt is awesome, we could use my car for show when its painted (or not) either way would be a good sorce for you!

These are rubber shop floor mats cut into Fiero floor mat shape. They are holding up well to dirty, muddy, rainy boots. This is my daily driver and I'm a welder. I carry a bunch of dirt around on my shoes!

The lowers and the headlights look good. The armrest needs some attention with a Mr. Clean Sponge, though.
