lets see..we didnt personalize too much that I can recall. the parts on the interior of the doors that act as armrests and have the window controls on them were all scratched up, so we took those off and repainted them. they turned out really well. The interior looks basically brand new because so many parts had to be repainted, and while we had everything apart, I cleaned the seats and carpet and headliner with a hoover carpet cleaner. The greddy shift **** I bought didnt come with a spacer so the threading is too long and wont completely tighten down, so that will eventually be "custom"

Update:

Alignment: Success
Salvage inspection: Pass
Safety: Pass
Emissions: Pass

Now were just waiting to get the title back from the state. Its been a really fun car to drive around. It didnt pass emissions on the first try because it hadnt been driven enough to completely clear the code that had been reset. The code was thrown for having the battery disconnected for too long. So, i HAD to drive it for at least 50 miles before it would pass emissions, and it did. Its been awesome so far.

Gee that's nothing in comparison to the job you've done on this car. I hope you plan to keep it a while. So much time and energy invested.
