Default Engine Bling Retro

I'm not on here much anymore, but last winter I got bored and decided to take my engine and other things apart and change the theme a little! It is finally going back together. My signature picture is what I started with and the link is what I have @ present. It has been rumored that my wife is planning to have me assasinated if I decide to do anything next winter.

Your engine bay looks great. As you can see in my avitar, in am on the red and chrome plan also. But I have the opposite problem you do. My wife keeps comming up with more cosmetic mod ideas. I guess buying her the MB SLK320 she wanted befor I bought the Vette worked.

So . . . . . if I read this correctly, this is your starting point.



And you are going to retro and this is where you are at today . . .




I hope I didn't misread this. Everyone else is going over the sig pic.

Good luck on the completion of the project.

If you want to send any of the old pieces my way, I would love to have them.
