Todays update I started doing some engine bay work today, I removed the washer system, relocated the air intake, painted the charge piping and did some cleaning. Over the next few weeks im going to start going through the wiring harness, cleaning it up tucking it, relocating the battery, and eventually shaving the bay.

the start
