Interior pics to come soon.
Plans for her. It currently has an ls swap runs good but that motor will be comming out and i will be starting a build for a z6 for her with a wire tuck im not sure how crazy im going to go with it as far as shaving the engine bay but its definately on my mind. Needs a cargo cover, the search will begin for oem window visors as well and we will see where things go

I miss my hatch. Getting the itch to find one. Good luck on the build.

got the water pump tensioner oil filter and water tube installed
so when i was looking for where i placed the z6 head that came with this motor i stumbled upon a bare z6 head i had stored that is ported and polished only problem is that its bare..so i ended up taking everything from the original head and putting onto the ported one why not right?
sorry for really crappy pics

intake mani and header bolted on along with a pic of my car patiently waiting for her new heart.
deep down i knew this nasty motor was going to go bad sooner or later. well it was sooner then i expected started knocking real bad.
so i decided to pull the nasty dual cam out its not like it was doing much in there anyways.
and since i had just got the tranny i bolted up and put the singe cam in the car with just the 2 side mounts to hold her in. i decided to do this so that it would be easier for me to determine what parts i still needed.
at this point i was getting desperate for a damn T-bracket.
i finally found one and for a steal of $10
i had to take a victory pic lol.

and this is how she sits as of now. i still need to get a harness and axels and waiting for my oil pan dizzy alternator injectors and such to come in. and a few odds and ends to get the motor running and hopefully make it to eibach springs meet 2013
oh and almost forgot also ordered these for my rims straight from buddy club
