Ditch the those rims and the rice can and I'll be good to go. Everything else looks good.

I'd paint the rest of the car to match the fenders and front end. Flat black FTMFW

+1 on getting some smaller rims, you'll never hook with those things. Also might wanna put a filter on that beast :-\

exhaust doesn't look bad.
Only suggestions I have would be to
1. get the surface rust off and paint the charge piping.
2. Get a catch can for the valve cover.
3. Remove the injector wiring mess and use the distribution block. (Put the resistor box in the back corner.)

good job on the setup.

where does that vacuum tube go on the charge piping near the throttle? why is the radiator crooked? missing the rubber pieces on the bottom?

i tried gettin that rust off once and i sprayed it with some clear engine enamel and it came right back, that a clean look w/ that resistor box what connector do you need for that? the radiator is crooked because the guy who had the car before me hit a tree or somethin so the lower support is a little crooked, and that blue vac line goes to the canister on the firewall....dont really know why i still have it (lazy) :l as you can see i still have all the ac lines and p/s lines too hah
