Finally got the springs on the car but haven’t tested it out as I’ve been out of town for a bit. Can’t wait to get back behind the wheel and hope it’s a got noticeable upgrade.

I gave her a good jamb wipe down with some help from The Chemical Guys Waterless Carwash. (My city is undergoing a water ban lately so I can't wash her proper just yet.)

I also pulled the trigger on the Eibach Pro-Kit!! Ahhhh!

You are going to love them. I would suggest getting some camber bolts, as the Kona's come with almost zero camber front camber. The rear is fully adjustable.

they're so adorable! Love em.

And since I'm here... well today I took all of that exterior trim paneling off. Front and rear bumpers, side skirts, all that wheel molding, yah, all of it. My shop is quite a mess.

You can buy a big bag of multi assorted plastic tabs on Amazon for cheap.

A lot of green and yellow tabs that work on a Hyundai Kia in there.

Uhhh pretty much all of the clips are broken, lol. It's on today's todo list to count up and figure out how many of each I need to get. If I buy authentic Hyundai clips, they're almost $4ea, which is gonna hurt. So I'll try and hunt down a cost effective aftermarket equivalent. That being said, I just spent $400 on paint alone today for this project. I knew going in that it was gonna be expensive and labor intensive but that's why I'm doing it now before I tag the thing and start driving it. At least now I'm not under any pressure of a time deadline. Ideally it'll be reassembled before the new year. My ORIGINAL goal was to be driving it before the new year but I keep adding to the build list since I've never had the luxury of a project car that wasn't my daily driver.

Then you should buy the bag. I sound deadened my car, so most of my inside panels were off. No way I was going to pay $4 for a 20 cent tab that was MADE to break.
