Fuel hardline for return is complete.   Not a lot of progress, but at least it's something.

Also got some new shoes:

Yes they're replicas.  No, I still don't care, because they look great.  :D

Got enough room cleared out in the garage to take a side picture:

The lighting sucks, but you get the general idea.   Hopefully it will be running in a 4-5 weeks and I can pull it outside and get a few decent pictures.

Also fabricated some fuel rail brackets and the last fuel line I needed, so the fuel system is complete again.

XXR 531;  17x8 +35 front, 17x9 +35 rear.   They are CCW rip-offs.   Actually not terrifically heavy also;  ~21 lbs on the front and ~23 on the rear.

All the time you spend under that hood and no gas struts to hold it up.

I have gas struts, they're off because I have fender/body work.  :)   I made them out of some factory Lexus GS pieces.

Love the wheels. What size tire did you go with?
