i like the collection of duct tape on the fire wall

Hey you know what?! I ran out of electrical tape .. I had to use something. I do need to fix it though, so shut up O0

 
Hey spin re: your hood. If you use some 300/400 wet/dry sandpaper (or better yet a heavy brillo pad) on your hood it'll blend the flat black so you don't see the spray strokes.

I was doubtful about the two tone hood, but that came out Nice.

 
Ahh, you know Spin. When he finishes the tranny swap that thing will be mint.

Until then it's a little rough... :

His ride sure is in need of 5sp... I think he'll have it swapped before winter! 8)

Could use a TMIC too, but one thing at a time.

 
So, it's been awhile, but that same November, I ended up swapping a 5-speed in from Evil's beloved pie-wagon. Now, 2 years later ... or so, it has taken us 4 months to swap in a td04 and intercooler. It is in, and we ran it yesterday. I feel there is an exhaust leak between the uppipe and the turbo (I think we forgot to replace the gasket). That makes it sound MEEEEEEAN tho. It was amazing having it start, run, and idle smoothly. Once I get it stickers, I'm bringing it to have the front end fixed and then the mods shall continue. All I need to do is redo most of the intake system as it is pretty ghetto at this point. For the most part, besides that .. it looks pretty stock!
