You know I had to get some work in this weekend! Need to pick up some fluids after work this week but should be able to start it up soon.

Had been lagging on installing the Racebred splitter. Still need to make some adjustments and possibly make an air dam but not too shabby!

Also some engine bay shots now that all the components are in place.

Swooped those off the auctions a while back and had em refinished. Needed to own a set of these classics!

Hood came back from paint. The fitment isn't so good so hopefully I can move things around to get it to sit nicely or add some hood latches

Didn't like how the fitment of the hood was using the OE hood latch so picked up a set of QUIK latch hood latches and installed.

Also got around to tuning the car. @lawrencebuilt worked his magic and the car ended with 261hp &190 tq. Car feels great and the added torque is drastic!
