Default Then and Now

Well finally got everything back together in the engine bay today. Valve covers are on (after breaking 2 of the chinese bolts that they came with ), fuel lines relocated, and nitrous mock-up is complete (just gotta wire it and install the purge kit once it arrives). Really gives it a whole new look. Figured I would share a before and after pic.

The day I bought the car September 2010:



Today:


Still on the list is a new polished or brushed radiator cover and the wire tuck mod once I have some extra money laying around...

That is coming along nicely.

Next project I'd do is scrape off those Eibach stickers and scrub down the shock towers.
