We woke up, had some yummy scones that Tamra made, and I donned my Gustin American Sixteeners. They're a pair of raw jeans (unwashed, un-pre-faded) that I've decided to sacrifice to this project. They'll grow to show the wear of the build, and will serve as a bit of an art piece commemorating the project. They're also heavy enough to protect from a bit of sharp sheet metal.
We did some shopping, bought a few shelves to store all the parts, and went looking to see what the options were for a tool chest, as my collection has rapidly outgrown my 4 drawer top portion. Currently weighing the options between $100 for something that's..adequate.. and $400 for something that I actually think will last & be pleasant to use.
When we got home, we set in on the car. All of the door cards came out, followed by all 4 windows. Next, the wiring and rear doors, then the hood. We have to keep track of all the fasteners and hinges, since they're re-used on the 818.
We pulled the WRX into the garage, kicking my Mazdaspeed3 to its new home outside.
I ordered a handful of plastic organizer cases and twist-tie tags, with a case of fine point Sharpies to keep track of things, which ought to be here before the long weekend. Hopefully, that'll let us keep things in order.
PS on the jeans note:
Gustin hooked me up with a shortcut on their normal business model they usually wait for customers to commit to a pant, then commence cutting & sewing in the SF bay area. Sign up HERE and we each get $5 off our orders.
