Looks good nice progress..
Couple tips if I may...
- Paint the dipstick handle!
- Paint the windshield washer reservoir black
- You can relocate the grounds to the left and right of the air lid base to under the air lid base utilizing one of those 10mm bolts on each side no problem.

and thanks for the tips, i was hoping some one would make a cover to hide the windshield washer reservoir lol AND i never thought of the last one!!
not a bad idea actually.. i dont even remember the last time i used that fluid anyway. I dont drive it in the snow or rain..

Car looks really good, very clean. ^ and they do make a resivoirs cover, or at least I know a buddy who has one, he may have fabbed it up himself though. It covers all the "junk" in front including the resiviors cover, and the empty space behind the headlights

Thank you ^^
yeah i know 6le was in the process of making them a while back but apparently they did not come out as good as they wanted them too.. i would totally pay the price for some custom covers in order to cover all that space

Verdad Gallardo Easy. I made all new brake lines with no experience beforehand. I bought the whole ABS delete kit from SJM which helped a lot though with fittings and a couple pre-bent lines etc.
If you can get enough interest and commitments maybe this guy will make more of these,

Was that with the motor in? I've seen the sjm kit before, looks nice but i was thinking of locating my proportion valve between the driver fender and the brake booster on a bracket on the brake booster bolt, but it would be a pita to get the lines right. I would also want to re-run the front passanger line under the lower radiator support and to the caliper so i would only have to unhook the lines at the caliper to drop the kmember
