Winter "build" complete - New pics!

Over winter 2010-2011, I had this car torn completely apart. There are too many details to list, but I will try to highlight them: First came the motor... stock rebuild, Comp XE 230/236, Patriot Extremes, CSR EWP, LPP LT's, 58mm TB, SJM ABS delete, etc. The engine bay is probably where I spent most of my time. Next I moved to interior... stripped and replaced with Ebony parts from an '02 WS6. Fresh black carpet, and Summit sport seats. I have about $500 total into my built Ford 8.8 rear, in stock length, with 4.30 gears. Full rear suspension, lowered 2", McLeod clutch. On the outside I have honeycomb tails, clear corners, 18x9.5 /18x10.5 C5 "Deep Dish" from OEWheels LLC, and 315 Hoosier's. Might I also add that the car now weighs 3100 lbs without a driver

I can go on but you I'm sure you all just want to see pics

If you have any questions feel free to ask. Enjoy...

very clean car. Tasteful mods that were done right. How are those Hoosiers? The only part that is a little confusing is the 315 hoosiers and then lowering it 2 inches. She might fight you at the track!

does she have rear brakes? how did you get that done for 500$?

How do you like the ladder bar set up for the rear? I am looking at trying that but am worried about the handling during some spirited cornering.

Very clean car btw.
