Yea it does. I am going to clean up the trans a bit and paint the valve cover. Not sure which color I want to go with it yet though.

Still have the exhaust, since they previous owner cut the flange off at the DP. Also have the linkage and radiator still. I hate working in the cold :sad

dude we should get together and ill help you shim and align the frontend parts so it doesnt look so ragged. so many people do ek frontend swaps and leave them all fucked up. i can help you shim and trim it to fit purrrrfect. ;D

Yeah thats what I was going to do tomorrow. I figured if I drop the hood down a bit in the front, and shim the bumper and grill up a bit, it should look a lot better. The EK radiator support is a bit bent up, so that may not help either.
