Rolled the car out the shop to clean up a little and get reorganized before pushing it back in and continuing with the motor install.

Also I swapped interiors and got rid of the tan leather. Motor is now back in and im waiting on some small misc. stuff to ahow up.

Questioning the desire to paint match the roof? I owned a 00 V6 in high school, and they come with paint matched roof and it was the ONE thing cosmetically that I cringed at every day.

You have brought that car along ways. Nice job and the car looks killer. Those Euro taillights are growing more and more on me each day.

Coming along very nice! Awesome work and attention to detail. I'm not a fan of the all black wheels, wonder what they would look like with polished lips and black centers. Any sound clips of exhaust?

Car is looking great! Sounds excellent! Did you buy the headlights or modify them yourself?

Do those Hella foglights just bolt right up or did you have to modify anything?
