I started this build a year ago and the thread was called "the sunflower" i have had my car just over a year now so im starting fresh.
Before & After







Also a recent engine rebuild including stage 3 cams, pistons, rods, and balance shaft delete has also happened. Pics of the build will be soon.

u should relocate the ecu underneath the wiper cowl. cleans up the back side of the bay alot.

not a big fan of the white "leather" ya got going on, not with the rest of your interior anyway. in another setting yes. but if you dig it, rock on.

Why is the dipstick semi-green?
Also, what did you do to the overflow tank, rattle can?
And why is your clutch fluid reservoir hanging like that?

I agree with Blu on relocating the ECU. You'd be able to see the Strut Bar better. I moved mine to under the steering column.
I guess you have no Cruise Control, so 1 less thing to relocate.

just finished motor swap so still working on things under the hood. i pulled out my old because it was burning oil like crazy, built a motor on the floor then just put this one in. The washer bottle was painted and needs a recoat. nope no cruse control. As for the white seats they dont look to great in pictures but in person i think the look is pretty good. they are old vert seats.

The interior will flow a lot better once ya get a matching white steering wheel. I can attest that the white 'vert seats, front panels, and rear panels look pretty sweet in person.

Got exhaust on the car, needs some slight work to even everything out. got the kit for $180 (magnaflow dual kit). And i must say it sounds really good.

Looks nice. Engine bay looks much cleaner. Conversion looks clean but the base bumper looks too plain. Great place to start though.
