Default Make over almost complete
November was "make over" month for my '99 black coupe. After the glass man finishes up installing the new windshield today, everything will be complete.
  • New leather seats
  • New Lloyd's Mats (cargo and passenger compartment)
  • New center console cover
  • New paint on nose, hood and rocker panels
  • New glass
  • New storage console in cargo area

My wife's car is up for make over in December.

In January or February I'm planning to build the engine in mine: cam, heads, exhaust system. Then comes the blower, but that's going to be a while!

See you at the track...

Make sure you go forged on the motor to hold the power of the blower. Nothing like FI !!
