OK, so here it is sofar
Organised that I have a timing light when I get back, so hopefully I can get the timing sorted out and she will start... HOPEFULLY
I got a definite deadline of September to have her up and running in perfect condition, meaning my WHOLE project needs to be done by then, my nephew wants to have my SX for his matric dance thing and not some cliche style limo, so duty calls.....
This means, by then I need to have
1. my Bonet roof and boot carbon wrapped, (A plan has been made and will be done)
2. the CarPC needs to be installed, (Have it, just to install it)
3. the dicktator needs to be upgraded to a USB connection (Found usb to serial adaptor to solder in)
4. THE MOTOR MUST BE DYNO'd and RUNNING !!!! (Help)
5. Hopefully I will have the suspention done, or atleast drop coils by then
6. Sound install needs to be completed (have 90% but good enough)
7. Tappet cover needs to be sprayed at least, Airbrushing will have to wait..... (Got the spray just need to lay)
8. Selectable Winking / Lazy eye lights will have to be sorted by then (Got the goodies, just need to install)
9. Skirts, front bumper and rear bumper will have to be done by then too... (Gonna take loooong)
Dang, how am I gonna get it all done in time ?
Anyone wanna help with some wrench time?

Man, You're doing a lot of nice things on your car! The other day I replaced a lost grommet at my bonnet holder, but obviously the rubber "whatever" I used was not the right part because it disappeared. Where do I get the right grommet? Thanks, Chris

Hey Chis,
Thanks cuz, ye the details are the fun part.... The grommet I used I got from Mica hardware, just make sure the inside diameter of the grommet (meaning the inside outer diameter that will seat inside the hole) is either the same size or a ball hair larger than the hole it's self. It will be really tight to fit though and you will probably swear at it a few times, but thats when you know it is right and shouldnt fall out. Inner diamiter must fit the bonet stand though....
If you want to make the trip, I might have a spare at home that I can give you, or can get u one at mega mica here....
