Default r/t progress pics

i just thought i would post a few pics of how my car looks now..
these pics were taken about a week ago
most of the suspension is painted, but i ran out of paint for now so i cant get it all done for a few days[&:]
intercooler, wiper shroud, wiper arms, and mirrors have all been apinted gunmetal grey...
the coolant overflow tank has been moved to the passenger fender well where the evap junk used to be at....but i forgot to take a pic of it and i still have to get some diamond plate to over the hole....
the stainless steel brake lines are mostly on the car...
prothane bushings are all in the front.....except the passenger side since the controll arm still needs some more paint..
i might be getting an r-33 front bumper in a few days, but i just have to wait and see about that
and hopefully the doors will be done by this weekend
let me know what you think so far.....there is still tons of work to do before i get the motor back and in....

it wasnt hard to get the bushing in the a-arms.....but getting the old ones out is a different story[&:]
i just used a big vise to press the new ones in.......but getting the new bushings and controll arm into the rear mount on the cross memeber was a pain....had to beat them in with a rubber mallet

the front sway bar is red too and i have to still paint the rear sway bar and the end links for it.....and the calipers....

i do have 3 neons as of now......the r/t, the wifes green expresso, and my other red sport coupe.....and im waiting for a towing yard to drop off a 4th one that im gonna use for parts.....plus i might end up getting another off of ebay in a few days
there is still alot of painting to do before i can install alot of stuff.....then once i get the motor back i have to paint it red too....
