nice rebuild, time enough now in this shitty weather.

Lol yea the weather isn't all that bad here in Oklahoma.

All polished out. No where near perfect but it's no show car. I'm happy with it and that's what matters.

Finishing the head install and should be starting this weekend. Nobody around here had the wrinkle red so the valve cover will have to wait.

OEM ITR lip kit installed. Had to order the head gasket so that's still not done. Touching up a few things here and there so it will be ready as so as the gasket comes in.

Also ported the header so it matches up with the head. Ill try to get some pics of that when I can.

Car looks good man. We could be twins lol

 

[lsvhatch]

Lol thanks man. I've put a lot of work into it since I got it. About to sell the ITR swap to j swap her.

Is that wetsanding compound that's all over the rear bumper and tires?

 

[lsvhatch]

Yea that pic was before I washed it up. Gotta wax it tomorrow after work.

I kinda liked the flat black. Good work on the progress though!

 

[lsvhatch]

The satin would have been good if the guy before me would have done it properly by the time I got home from Korea it was to faded

 

[g3teg97]

That sucks. Usually flat black looks cheap. I guess the pics made it look better than in person.

 

[lsvhatch]

Yea and I would take a lot of time before pics to get it looking as good as possible.
