Installed a new water pump since mine was hemorrhaging coolant out the weep hole. Flushed out the heater core so that my heat actually works now and changed the oil. Then had a run in with a 427R while taking it for a test drive after wrapping up the work.

Installed new headlight metal gears so now I can actually use them without having to flip them up manually.

Headers, Lid, Air Filter, Exhaust, and deletes.

I have an APS twin turbo kit, Fast102mm, ported heads, and a cam sitting in my room waiting for me to clean my garage.

Gave her the first decent bath in a couple months since the weather decided to warm up and not dump rain all over the place today. About to pull the tops off and enjoy the weather while it lasts.
