Well its been a year and I'm finally home from Iraq. Had a couple of days to go out and tinker with the car before I have to ship it next month. Motor is still out, but now is assembled after a full stock rebuild. Engine bay has been painted along with the roof. Side skirts were replaced because of damage from being shipped. Front lip was also replaced from similiar damage. Front and rear bumpers were (re)painted. Picked up a few other lil goodies. Crappy cam and dirty car = lackluster pics.

Nothing special really. Picked up a CBD AI hood as well. Should be pretty sick when its all done.

Carbon By Design sells them. A bit overpriced... as is most of CBD's stuff.... but a great looking piece.

Your front end looks exactly like whyconform's. Can't wait to see it all patched up and moving!

Oh Hai Nixon! Poor car

Yeah we both had the same idea at the same time. Problem was.... I couldn't do mine with the car until I got back from Iraq

I'll be adding a little something to mine to change it up though. And he doesn't have the CF deletes I think?

I think you're right (about the deletes). I didn't mean it as a criticism, just an observation. I did a bunch of chops for him when he busted the lip to help him figure out how to patch and paint it. His was out of necessity rather than the need to be different

Oh no no.... didn't mean to come off defensive. I love his car and I told him that I had the same idea when he came out with it. Looks great so I had no problem going a head and doing the same thing

I think he'd be ok with seeing mine the same way too. I can't wait to just get the damn thing on the road. Its going to have low mileage now that it hasn't really been driven in 2 years. Only 3500 miles in 2 years

What lip is that for the front, never seen that before...
So car is getting shipped back to the states?
Since the motor is out...you might as well rebuild it no?

loving the car again. more pics demanded

The front lip is the Kaminari one. Just looks strange from head on. The car will get shipped back to the states sometime in Jan or early Feb. The motor blew so I had to rebuild it. I also bought another motor which is sitting at Performance Autowerks in Chicago waiting to go into it. 600whp is the goal for that one

This motor is just stock new stock internals with the balance shafts removed and 2.0 cams installed. Nothing special.

The special part is that this one runs....

Very nice plans.

I wish I had a spare motor to build.
