The last pic that I posted was of the engine in the engine bay, sad to report nothing has changed. My oil pump gear shipped out on Monday and should be here by the end of the week. This is what I got for updates.
Trim Pieces Painted Flat Black (matches the rest of the faded trim)
I Figured Why Stop With The Trim, I Wanted Something Different On The Tails Too, Flat Black instead of the Semi-Gloss They Were
Profec Installed (down to the right under the HVAC)
Solenoid In A Nice Spot
The Vac Line of Death
I Had Just Enough Paint To Do The Grill Insert, Going to Pick Up More Today
I honestly didn't think anybody gave a rats ass. With all the "clean up your sh!t" that I've already expressed I'm sick of numerous times in the past. Ken and Shawn get it. Ken thinks it to himself them it's "Meh whateve, it's his car." Shawn has it pretty much nailed, as often as I tear this thing apart it wouldn't stay clean no matter what I did. I make no excuses for it being nasty under the hood, other than it's my car. As I said to Brad in a pm, it'll make xxxhp whether it's clean or dirty.
One more thing, I'm shopping for a new turbo and I've found my new baby...
Not The Exact Picture, but The Stats Are There
