Thank you Kevin. It looks as good or better than the picture I had in my head all along, always nice when that happens.

took the car for a drive since the nlts install. runs awesome!! but, forgot to put one bolt on the exhaust and one side came off at best buy. lol it was dark, nothing to tie it up with so had to use my car charger to tie it up to get it home. worked like a charm. lol
I bought a parts washer & engine hoist to help expedite some of the repairs/upgrades I'm doing (replacement valve cover & new poly engine mounts are going in soon).

Assembled majority of my long block yesterday, getting ready to prime the engine bay.
Replaced home made solid engine mount with a 3sx poly mount I picked up real cheap. Pressure tested cooling system cus I kept finding a small pool of coolant on the trans. Located about 10 leaks :lol: every hose in the engine bay was replaced about 15k kms ago so I guess over time the new hoses compressed down and just needed tightening up. Some very tight spots to get to so will have to retest after a drive etc. Pressure tester was well worth the $100 I paid for it and it will fit almost every car. If you don't have one buy one.

Nice work, Corey. It looks really nice at this point. Is the AC still fully functional?

Twas brake day
As you can see I needed them quite badly...

EBC Pads and Slotted Rotors, Stock rears.

HUGE distance in stopping power between the Vatozone pads and my destroyed rotors and this new setup. They also do not fade near as quick or as bad.

Also my Short Attention Span led me to trying out some clear coat on the fender pretty quick... Looks pretty great, Going to sand it down and finish body work and maybe just do the whole car...

Ontop of the brakes and the random clearing.
Also did
Lowered car 1/2"
Alignment
Rust control (finding random nuts and bolts n such with surface rust, taking wire brush to them, then cleaning them)
Painted Calipers
could probably have used a tt brake upgrade, blacky. the n/a setup doesn't handle heat well.
