Quick pic from today:




...yes, I know, the throttle body is in desperate need of some TLC

yeah. looks like its rusted out! lol

Any pics of the cuttoff? & how much did the retro run you if you don't mind sharing?

^I only have crap cell-phone pics of the cutoff. I'll get some better ones soon enough.

The retro wasn't much in terms of $... but it was quite literally over 10 times the work I thought it would be. (and took about 10 times longer than I thought it would too)

I'll check my receipts and update the first post with the final price (just like I do everything) I just have to get around to doing it.

White strutbar nao

noiceee

Nicely done.

Nice clean engine bay for 125k miles!

Thanks guys


And yeah Jorge, I wouldn't mind a IP strut bar... it's not exactly easy to tell in the pic, but all the "white" parts are actually Ivory Pearl.

If I add a strut bar, it will probably be black until I can get my painter to color match it.

Hey Ash,wanna come over and clean up my engine bay?

^Does it have a "Mike's dirt overlay" on it right now?

here's what mine looked like before

yes.. it does actually.. how did you know?

^They're famous. I hear they protect against everything from small rock chips to hammers hurled directly at your car!

it's an amazing overlay. People have come up to me and asked what custom brown paint it is. They get confused when I say my car is black.

Great work with the headlights and the wire tuck. I know ur the master of DIY but did you do those as well? Both was looks sweet!
