Need more updates!

 

UPDATES: January 14, 2012...i know its been a hot minute since I updated this build thread...but with moving from Hawaii to Texas and other drama...I am finally able to start a fresh rebuild from the bottom up...hope to have everything completed by the end of 2013...that gives me more than enough time to accomplish this...I plan on doing everything minus the paint

Before removing all the exterior body panels

Definitely need a new radiator support before the Mishimoto one goes in

Think its time to replace the exhaust manifold and maybe the bolts too...or spring for a new engine

Worst audio setup/splicing I have ever seen...I shoulda looked at the craftsmanship when it was first installed...I didnt even know that they used crossovers...completely unnecessary

Has now become a storage space for tools and various parts
