Default New Mods to the White WS6...engine, exterior and interior!

Well we got a few more things accomplished on the white car so I figured I would post some pics. I think its coming along great! Cecilia beat quite a few nice cars to win her class (83-up cars) at a local show yesterday...she was very proud of that!

We went from black door handles to painted ones and painted the door locks. I got these off a wrecked LS1 car a guy was parting out in the classifeds.






She got her headrests back from Grant:




We finally got around to putting the white PCed and polished intake on:
Stock


New one:


I pulled the stock one off:


But made her put the new one on :






We also polished the alternator, alt bracket, fuel rail, TB and MAF and added some polished valve covers.

Before:


After (lighting was horrible for these pics):






There is still a ton to do but its progressing well, and most of all its something we are enjoying doing together!


EDIT:
And I almost forgot to give props to Ram for being such a huge help again (at least he did wake up for the picture this time!) lol

No she had scetchers on in the first two pics! The last pic was day 2...I guess after breaking an intake bolt off in the head the day before and having to deal with that she descided to try something different.

(Ok, ok...I broke it off but it was I am sure in some way her fault! Just ask her!!! LOL)

BTW, here are a couple pics from the show we went to yesterday:

I think its because it was cheaper...lol

I really dont know, but I can tell you they look WAY WAY WAY better body color! I am doing some suspesion pieces (LCAs and PHR) in white for it now. I would like to PC the wheels white for her by the G14 too but I doubt we make it (I have a few things I want to get done to the orange car first! )
