theDreamer, I know you wanted to see how this looks, so here's a few temp pics until I get better ones done:
Engine bay shot - new components include red Samco hoses, ARC radiator cap, PW:JDM oil cap, gloss black support bar + red kanji vinyl (as if that wasn't obvious from the PREVIOUS shot, lol).
Hope to get some better shots soon. With that said, photoshoot will be happening sometime in the next two to three weeks, as soon as I can get it scheduled and locked in place
On the shortlist of stuff to do - finish purchasing and installing Amuse parts (aim to do this by Amplified's BBQ in two weeks), buy an oil cooler, clear bra front. If I can do it myself, I would like to do some painting of the engine bay cover - nothing too complicated, but just enough to tie in the entire look.
Anybody in SoCal know a good clear-bra place that won't charge me an arm and a leg for custom front haha
On a slightly somber note...that might be the end of this project for a while. I knew from the start that this build would progress over years, not months. I don't have the deep pockets that some of us do here to get parts fab'd and installed in time for SEMA (I'm staring at you,
bullitt and
Tony LOL), and believe it or not there are other things I need to take care of that aren't car-related. I'm low on cash for what I want to do in those other aspects of my life, so unless really, really good deals roll around, or something really grabs my attention, I probably will be waiting a while for new parts. Plus, I love the car the way it is right now, so I'm in no big rush to put 'latest and greatest' stuff onto the car. Nothing has really screamed 'OMG I NEED THIS NOW' lately.
Well, except for a certain canyon run and me watching oil temps like a hawk
Still on my wishlist - new seats...eh, that can wait for a while.
