It's done!
I apologize for the lack of pictures, I didn't have a whole lot of time before I have to work tonight so I just wanted to get it done.
My Dad and I headed out to the shop and set the car up on the hoist and got to work.

Then drained as much gas as we could out of it before lowering the tank.
Then the tank was out. No wonder it was leaking...

While the tank was out I took care of the surface rust under the car and hit it up with the same paint I used on the tank.
Out with the old and in with the new.

New straps as well.

Then I went over to the gas station and filled her up! It's been a little while since I've seen this. It's nice

I also flipped the front tires around so the rotation is in the correct direction since the previous owner had them on backwards. No more hydroplaning in the rain.

Hopefully I'll be able to install the UKDM lights soon. My parts stash is getting out of hand. I also need to email PWJDM about my OEM window visors. I purchased those quite a while ago now and still have no shipping confirmation.

Today has been a good day so far. My first class of the day, which is a 3 hour lab, got cancelled so I had all morning to work on Mia
The '94-97 tail lights on their way out.
Old Lights by Austin Rajki, on Flickr
Having a gutted interior made a really easy job simple and super quick.
Easy Removal by Austin Rajki, on Flickr
The area around the lights was pretty dirty so I cleaned that up to get the best possible seal I could get.

These are the old gaskets that were around the original tail lights, no wonder it was leaking. They are a lot worse than my cell phone shows.
Old Worn Out Gaskets by Austin Rajki, on Flickr
One thing I did notice was that the USDM lights had a socket on the outside edge and the UKDM tails did not have this.

No Socket by Austin Rajki, on Flickr
You can also see a little rectangle cut out inside the USDM light. I'm assuming that this is for the light to illuminate the corner, which I believe is part of the running lights.
Hole by Austin Rajki, on Flickr
The UKDM taillight didn`t have this cut out inside the light either, so I'm assuming it's just a reflector and the light is not supposed to go in there.
No Hole by Austin Rajki, on Flickr
Being unsure about the light, I didn't want to remove it from the harness, so I just removed the light and tucked the socket in and ziptied it so it doesn't rattle around.
Tucked Out of the Way by Austin Rajki, on Flickr
After getting that socket tied down in place I set the new gaskets on the lights and put them into place.

I wanted to do more to the car so I dug the plug I had in the stash of parts and got to work removing this.
Old Antenna by Austin Rajki, on Flickr
Super simple to remove. Just unscrew the silver cap you see in the picture above and one bolt in the hatch, unplug the harness and pull it out.
The antenna is now out and the plug is ready to go in. This saved 2.25 lbs with the antenna and wire.

I also decided that she was in desperate need of a bath, despite it being 37 degrees outside I gave her a wash

I will get better pictures of the lights as these do them no justice whatsoever .
Also PWJDM called me and said the OEM window visors will be shipping out very shortly.

I literally never use the radio. I have a couple cds that I use only because I don't have an auxiliary port. Once I get some free cash I want to buy an amp and wire those directly to my speakers so I can remove the radio completely. Once the amp is in I use ipod and control the volume through that.

I have not problems with my shark attack 2 antenna, it looks halfway decent too.
Loving the UKDM lights and antenna shave!

It doesnt have the reception as the oem antenna does for me. I live more in the country side. I can't listen to my main station with the Shark II. I would have better results holding a clothes hanger out the window. Lol

I have a internal antenna that I have double sided to my front windshield. I have the wiring inside the plastic panel between the door and windshield. I bought it at best buy and works amazing. Ill take a picture of it later

That at my passenger half of the windshield. It's completely unseen due to the factory tint up there.
There are only two wires on the antenna; one that goes directly into the antenna jack behind the radio and the other goes into the power wire on the radio. I have the wires into the plastic shown below (plastic is held by pressure clips)
The wires will go straight down behind your glove box; plug them how I stated above and your golden
