                          ok update time, cleaned up the wires a little bit, fixed the vacuum leaks, and ordered a few more things!
                          akg shifter :)

                          hahah my friend gave me a sticker and told me to put it on my car, so i did...(prob wont stay on there forever)

                          the engine ( still have to get an air filter and clean up the drivers side wiring )


                          i also got my I.E. electric fan (still have to wire it in) and all i have left to do is install the shifter, driveshaft, bleed the coolant a little more, bleed brakes/clutch, and finish my exhaust! Thats pretty much it. The engine runs smoothly!
