Default H/C swap, lots of pics!
Here are some pictures of El Caballo Loco's car. We finally finished it the other night. Came out really great with the new heads, cam, clutch, rear LCAs, QA1s in all four corners with new springs. Some really nice coated parts as well. Here are the pics!

Looks like everything went smoothly, which is more than I can say when I work on mine.

Looks great! All it needs is a black strut tower brace, and I just so happen to have one for sale.

Great pics. Lots of room on the passenger side of the engine bay without all that HVAC stuff.
