your interior looks great, and i like mine, but yours looks more comfortable.i never saw the engine compartment photographed from that angle.it makes it look very crowded,which it really isn't.nice job!

Love the seats! What did you use to clean everything under the hood? I see a few new parts like the master cylinder and bales, but looks nice and clean. Well done!

Thanka for the kind feedback. The engine compartment was mostly done with simple green and several different brushes. It's not show quality yet, but at least I'm not embarrassed to open the hood now. (the intake manifold is new, so that helps a lot.)

I've often said that I love working on my car because I get to enjoy it myself. I'm not sure you could pay me enough to work on a car and then give it back.
