A lot of the wiring has been completed. Oil and water/coolant added. Exhaust mounted and tips fixed. HalTech is in. Left the shop with the battery charger on it and hopefully first start up tomorrow morning.

The car started. Having some issues with the Cosworth sealing and getting vacuum leaks. Ordered new gaskets and having them overnighted. Yeap... Overnighting gaskets. LOL!
Latest pics:
New plate on...
Compressed some. Still needs to come completely off the lift and new alignment.
CJM Fuel rails and painted valve covers.

Change the location of the JWT intake filter. This will help the hood close properly. Also have the LightWerkz '06 headlight in.
Still needs an alignment but on the ground.

Not going to lie. I considered it. But than thought it would be too much. The red adds contrast.

Robert, that shiet is syck...Good job Bro !
I too also do not care for the blacked out tails...since I have a '04.5 SB Z with mostly black and wanted to keep the red as an accent. Good choice.
I upgraded my tails to '06 also....they look sooo much better than the older ones.
