Looking good man!

thanks! :nice:

Long Story! made short--- Took the head off cuz of a leak from the timing chain cover once the engine was swapped; head off again because of bent valves (at least I thought); Tranny off because broken pressure plate; now it is at the shop to get timed properly since it probably isnt timed exactly. Hopefully that should be all.


OP: Why in the front of your motor all black?

wow man that sucks, hope everything works out for you and your motor, Trying to keep my black/white theme with the car, so painted the motor and accessories on it black..

There's a few options for boosters, was just curious what you decided to run since i imagine you want the pedal to feel as close to stock for when you run auto-x. Good job man, car is coming along, it's come a long way since you first bought it. I think i've had my car longer than you and haven't gotten as much done yet lol

lol thanks man, appreciate it!!, and two things 1:stop slackin!!!! lol and 2: my father said, next time your in new york, come and have a beer with him haha, well us b/c i turn 21 in 2 weeks! muahahahhaa.

Thanks but i'm going to fix it and put it back on, like i said to the other guy, to each their own, i like it, it's a stock valence molded.
