89 formula underway

This is my 1989 formula. It needs alot of work, but it's underway now. Hopefully i'll have it mostly up and running by spring. Interior was moldy and ripped, firewall was leaking into the car, and the car isn't properly timed yet. The passenger break line is rotted and the exterior has a bit of rot by the rear wheels. About 2 weeks ago a club member helped me with the leaking firewall, which is now no longer leaking. He helped rip the interior out yesterday. The car's interior is being done mostly in black, as i bought all new panels, flooring and such. Still looking for 4th gen camaro seats to put in it, unsure if i'll put rear seats in the car.

IMO those axle tubes are suspect. That is serious corrosion.

The old seam sealer was all cracked, dried up and missing under the cowl panel. Scraped the old stuff out and resealed it.
