No pictures yet, but I started the ever popular coupe door modification to the Nissan. I'm most of the way through getting the rear seatbelts relocated to the factory location for the front seat belts, with some fabricating so they actually work.

I'll have two sets of front seat belts for a couple weeks until I source some white coupe doors with power windows, so if I sell the car I can just put it back to stock and not get sued for messing with the factory seatbelts if the new owner wrecks it.

The volvo finally has a coin tray/OBDII/Cigarette lighter in it again. I spent some time removing the wood trim from the old piece and getting the adhesive off the back, so that will be going in sometime this week and it will look just like it did when I bought it, besides for a boost gauge where the ashtray used to be.

Dont you have a job or something to go to?

I drove mine to work and parked all the way in the back away from everyone and everything. Normally I park it next to the golf carts when I am working outside but I dont trust the guy working out there right now.

I was too lazy to make the trip to the JY to get the replacement part for the Volvo, but I am 90% done with my seatbelt modification. I just have to cut the slots in the panels to run the belts through then screw them back on.

I've decided that my dad's friend can find another 240 vert in a couple years, so I'm gutting the doors to get down to the stock coupe panels. I'm also pricing out a Cometic HG, Arias rods and pistons (unless I can find a better place to buy them from), built head, Better radiator, Engine mounts, ARP head studs, and suspension and brakes, so I can go KA-T hopefully next year. I figure for about $5000 give or take I can have a nice 400hp beast.

Beat the crap out of it in our rainstorm earlier, I called it quits when the water got too deep and the river going down the roads buried the sidewalk too.
