Pics??? Here you go















Fuel cell bracket is not finished. I am going to reduce the amount of angle it has. The pan will have a fold down license plate.


















As you can see the headers were a tight fit on the frame and th knuckle on the control arm. I'm going to try and get the one tube a little father away from the knuckle.

Working on wiring today (oh joy).. I picked up a brand new A4 harness. Last night I stripped all the tape and loom off of it and zip tied it to keep it together. I have marked what I feel are the needed wires to tap in to and have a whole list of wires to remove. That is todays project among other things.

This is what I am thinking right now
Green = wires I need to tap in to
Red = Remove
Black = leave alone

I won't be tapping in to the green ones right away. I need to get the motor / tranny back in (flexplate should be here on Wed along with a few other tranny parts). Then I will simply detach the connector end of the green wires and route them where they need to go.

I'll be deleting VATS, Smog, Air Pump, EGR, Rear O2's and other misc all together via HP tuners.
