Very beautiful!

I wish to god I took pictures of the engine bay the day I got my car. The outside and inside were spotless.. and then I popped the hood. It was a nightmare. Mud, rust(battery box area) and about a 1/4" of grease covered everything. I immediately bought a roll of shop towels, toothbrushes and 3 cans of engine cleaner/detailer, and then broke out the wirewheel and the rattle can for the rust.

Whip.

Sorry...just never thought of my car as a 'whip.'

Aside from the TTII's and the suspension, my car is basicly stock.
I spent the money under the hood.

Mr. Luos who needs appearance mods when you got all that under the hood? Think I’ve watched all your you tube vids like 3 times.

I've never had a car that I enjoy as much as my T/A. I didn't think I had any pics, but found some at work of the original ebay pics (I bought the T/A off Ebay) and she's come a loong way.

when I got to take her around Texas Motor Speedway in DFW
