As awesome as this swap and fabrication is, I hope you decide to revisit your plans for the aesthetics when the performances portion of this project is complete.

-the center exit being slightly to the right( I will fix that I think its because the mid-pipe is not timed right but if I have to piecut and reweld I will.)
-the paint and bodywork
-2 or 3 other very insignificant details like the quality of the welds on the transmission crossmember for example
you didn't mention what specifically you were talking about but im guessing its the paint which I totally understand and I agree the paint and more so the body work is not very good but I actually I do think the paint is cool, its acceptable for me. I would much prefer a professional level metallic grey I think that would look awesome but I just cant pull that off man. when I painted the car I had bugs and sh*t landing all over the wet paint and messing things up and yeah its just bad but I can live with it.
now if your talking about my riveted firewalls not being aesthetic im gonna have to disagree with you there, I think they look cool af. i will probably lay some carpet in the car at some point. but im gonna leave the firewalls how they are.

I was looking at my fuel pump and I just realized how crazy loud the pumps gonna be in the cabin like that lol oh well.
in other news I confirmed that the hood is going to fit with no mods so that's nice.

Not gonna lie it's quite funky but hey if it works for you then that's all the validation that should matter. Like I said before, the rest of it looks cool to me. Nice blend of function over form. Maybe a wrap instead of paint? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

lol in all serious though i see what your getting at man and i appreciate it because while im ok with it now, regret may set in over time and it may start to be a thing im really unhappy about. im gonna put some more thought into paint and think about if im willing to commit to what i got and what alternatives i have because i still have the opportunity to change at this point of the build

I found out that you can rotate the steering rack input housing, I saw some other pictures of steering racks that were oriented the other way and found out of course you can rotate it, duh. my b for unnecessary grinding, nbd though
the steering rack barely fits but still fits, it will rotate. I may have to take that plastic shield off and or grind that bracket with blue marker off the engine block
