Got the car back from paint last week and I love it. I was expecting a little darker of a color but I wouldn't change it now. Over the last week I have installed all new wheels bearings, tie rod ends, ball joints, rotors, pads, calipers, RKSport front and rear swap bars, 2003 rear axle assembly (with larger drums and shoes) converted to a Non-abs system and mounted the proportioning valve out of the way and redid all lines, relocated the fuel lines up into the cowel and used Russell bulk head connections and -6AN lines and fittings, 2003 gas tank with sending unit and walbro 255 pump, hi-flo fuel filter and relocated evap canister into spare tire well. Here are some pics of the car when I got it back from the body shop..
Still have some small things left to do but from here I am just waiting on a set of MLS head gaskets so I can finnish the top end and get the engine in the hole. I decided to mock somethings up on the stand while I wait and I took a few pics...
Hope to have the engine up and running this coming weekend.

lol..who said anything about being under the hood.
Actually we have to figure something out with the hood when the engine goes back in, not sure what we are going to do yet but it won't clear a stock hood thats for sure.

not clearing the stock hood? thats a nice problem to have.
very nice work on that engine.
My only concern is accessibility to that rear valve cover should you need to perform any maintenance.
Actually the down pipe comes out pretty easy. You just have to undo the V-band from the turbo and 3 bolts under the car and it pulls right up and out.
