After sitting in a box for over a year, maybe longer, I finally got the neon rear discs installed. I have yet to drive the car, still have some motor work to complete. In the next few weeks, I've got a 5,000 mile cross country trip to make, so that should be the ultimate test! I apologize for the crappy cell phone pics. I'll upload some better ones next week.
I also got a chance to finally throw on the CF hood. It's terrible dirty, so excuse that.
Hmm...what's hiding in there?
I'll have more updates in the next few weeks!

Looks good Luke! Keep us posted
Nice man, you should cut the dust shield down on the brakes so it hides behind the rotors.
Keep it up.

looks good.
good luck on the trip/ drive safe.
Thanks for the comments guys. It is finally coming along! I'm not sure where the motivation came from all of the sudden...probably the trip I'm taking. In any case, it feels good to be working on it again! I can't wait to get it back on the road. Like I said, I'll have more updates in the next few eeks here. Stay tuned.

Thanks man! Good idea, I'll have to trim those up before I get everything back together.

lookn good man!
you should have a care package within two weeks!
Not a whole lot of updates yet. I did get HID's installed for the low beams as well as the fog lights. Hood pins are in also. Naturally, I forgot my camera, so I don't have any pics. Hopefully by next weekend, I'll have some goodies to post!

About how long did it take you to install the Neon rears? Mine have also been sitting in a box for over a year
and i'd love to install them for the summer.
It took me a weekend to do it. But I'm picky as hell, so that included painting the dust shields and brackets, covering the SS braided brake lines with rubber in places it might rub, all the little things. Also, bleeding the whole brake system. So you can definitely get it done in a weekend.
I mainly put it off for so long because I was sketchy on how to setup the e-brake shoes. I've never worked with drum brakes before, so I wasn't sure how the springs and clips all worked. It turned out to be super simple. Also, the price kind of turned me off because I needed pads, shoes, calipers, and rotors.
I found out the best place to get the parts is from Advance Auto. I priced out CarQuest, O'Reilley's, AutoZone, RockAuto, and Napa. I got all the parts I needed for just over $250. They had some coupon going at the time for 20% off as well as free shipping over $100. Actually, I think they still have a decent coupon right now. The best part is they have the lowest core charge I've seen on the calipers. Also, the calipers ship with new bolts, sleeves, and also have the correct thread size for the -AN adapter shipped in the kit. Here are the part numbers:

Nice Luke, Im sure a lot of people can use those part numbers. It took me about a week to do both sides, mainly because my drivers side e-brake cable was acting like a bitch for a couple of days lol.

Yup, the -AN adapters, SS brake lines and the clips, springs etc. are all included in the kit from Josh Dearman. That's all you need. Well, access to a grinder as well to trim off the tabs.

Getting the e-brake cables hooked up is probably the worst part. It's definitely easier if you've got another person to slide on the clip as you hold the spring back on the cable.
