I’ll start from the beginning. Picked this up out of Ohio. Was pretty clean for the most part. Low mileage, black interior, few bolt-on’s Already done. It was a great starting point.

First things I addressed were the headlights and bumper. Replaced the headlights with some OEM style amazon specials. Bumper had the fog light holes shaved and repainted.

Next on the list was to take care of the front brakes. Hit up my friends at Wilwood and hooked myself up with their 13” BBK and stainless lines.

I had my good friend take care of the paint as it was in desperate need of attention. Still has some clear coat bad spots on the hood, but overall looks great.

Finally got around to replacing the cheap ass triple pod and glowshit gauge. Autometer to the rescue on the pod and AEM with an oil pressure gauge. Now it’s not so terrible.
 
I got around to getting my lower IC pipe remade and getting a dump tube made. The previous owner had put some clapped out intercooler contraption down there as a pipe. Anyways, properly routed and welded now and my wastegate is actually dumping outside the car now. So it’s a win/win.

Great job job on the restoration! You’re right, the details make it all come together. Looks fantastic! Put us down to buy it if you ever part with it.
 
Ughhh you guys are killing me, I need to find something clean like this asap LOL. Love it, really clean and coming along so nicely. Congrats!

Got around to installing my new Advans. 18x8.5 +31. These are the cored cavity versions meaning the spokes are hollow, allowing these to be super light while being cast. Fitment was spot on with 235/40/18 Firehawks.

I decided my 12” Wilwood BBK wasn’t enough with the new wheels and came across a used TCE Wilwood front and rear kit. These are 13” rotors front and rear with 6-piston and 4-piston calipers. They filled the wheels much better. And it stops pretty good.
