SO i have a thread elsewhere on the forum , but i think i will redo and make a nicer one on here for all to see in a more appropriate place . Enjoy , Give feedback , comment or flame if need be. I will keep this post up to date with everything i have received and installed.


Started out with this , Purchased rims and Tires , and Painted front Upper grill.
and shortened the Antenna





Move on to Interior changes , Pained the vent borders white , also did the corner vents and hand grip on doors





Debadged the rear , really makes it look clean , and on white clean is good. Also Nightshaded the Tail lights and front bumper blinkers.


Found a Local store that was able to order me the SVT front lower Grill , And so i modded what i and made this beauty. She Looks sooo Purdy .


Moved on to under the hood at this point , and painted the battery cover , top white , sides clean and left black , clear cloated the whole thing.




Ordered and received some new emblems from TFB designs , So i got them all around.




Painted my CAI to match my color scheme i am useing.



CLEAN ENGINE BAY!!!! Yes i got it detailed , it was in horrible shape.



Received a new front upper grill from Europe , Also new emblem for it.




Recieved a few goodies from our Friends at Massive Performance , Thanks Karl.







Installed new valve cover , and front strut bar , rear bar will get installed when i get a warmer day or spring , whichever comes first.




and lastly for the moment but not least new HVAC knobs.

The Winter i will be collecting a few things , but only work i will be doing or getting done will be mechanical , to bring the health up some more, as i am having a few small issues i need to address.

I will update as i go along and hope people have an interest in my build.

Thanks

Not much of an update today , i did half the wireing harness , on the headlights .

Basically cut , and solder and added connectors to make it easy to remove if i need to. Monday i will take my old bumper and headlights off and start the wireing on the car , to mate with the wireing on the lights , will post a picture of everything before it goes on the car so you can see my mad skillz with a soldering iron and connectors :p

So as you recall last, i was stoked about installing the new bumper and headlights , but before i could do that i had to finish making my wire harness. Well wire harness done , headlights in , bumper on. But LEDS are not connected yet. that i will have to do tomorrow , ran out of day light.

However i won't leave you Pic less. here is the wire harness. I used Trailer wire harness's to remake a harness for the new headlights. I soldered every connected and used electrical grease in every connector to protect them even more. I will say though that the lights look awsome. Brighter by a long shot. will change the turn signal to a LED light rather than what i am useing. However tomorrow i will hook the LEDs up and then take a few pictures for you all to see.

was weird when i had it all installed and was doing a test lighting to make sure everything worked. and one light the high beam was set as low beam and opposite the other , so i had to do a little quick emergency wire cut and re solder. was weird because i they were identical. But in the end was good. Tomorrow will see some nice pics. wanted to get a car wash today but both the washes were closed cause they was broken... they were accross the street from each other.... weird.

Also ordered SVT fogs today from Rock auto
