Default Engine Bay Progress Pictures!
After months of putting my project to the side it is finally nearing completion. All the holes and seams in the engine bay where filled and smoothed, then the engine bay was sprayed black. Finally, got the motor back in the car and have been working on painting a few things here and there, changing out the wire loom for new loom were needed and fabbed a ecm cover, intake(plaque/cover behind throttlebody) and also a cover to hide the fuse boxes and other miscellaneous wires on the driver side.

Next on the list is a 90MM LSX intake and MTI throttlebody. Additionally I will be getting billet valve covers and replacing bolts and nuts with some chrome or stainless steel ones.
