Update from the weekend:
I got it running. The car had a pretty elaborate positive terminal cable. It seems that when the SRS goes off it cuts the power to the engine. I replaced that on Saturday and it fired up. The MMI (Nav/Radio) still didn't work. After probing the fuse block I found a 5 AMP fuse that was blown....it fixed the MMI issue.
Here are some pics of the trunk area.
4 of the 5 seatbelt pretensioners went off, so after about 5 hours of work I got the four belts out and shipped out to MyAirBags.com to have them repaired.
Now we are just down to body work.
Here is the 1/4 panel glued in its final position and the trunk lid now closes/seals and fits pretty damn good.

spent good friday working on the car......got some pretty good progression.
Now on to the deck lid
Front Bumper
car papered off
new heat exchanger
rear bumper from Ebay - will need some work
new Rim/tire as the original one was bent beyond repair.
X-pipe section- gonna add this in since I'm on a budget...maybe an AWE exhaust down the road

The car is now 99% done. We did final assembly on Friday. Suspension adjustments and alignment on all 4 tires on Saturday and exhaust repair on Sunday. Today the car will get wet sanded and polished. We now only need an inspection from the State and then it will be on the road.
found a stock muffler from a guy in Ohio....this will do until I can find a nice used system.
