NY a few current pics

in my interior i just finished installing the rest of my gauges, new ignition cylinder cuz i can pull my key out while the engine is running, i still need to finalize the wideband and ebc install.

i just got new fenders installed. i still need to adjust the gap between the fender and doors, but here are some shots of a rough mock up with my shine lip. the lip was just held up by vise grips for now so i can make adjustments.

enjoy

i'm located in SI. well boys the amp just happened to be near the same size as the storage bin opening. i actually spent a few hours running all the wiring underneath the carpeting carefully tucking everything. the wiring runs underneath into the storage bin via some holes i cut, right now it is only propped up with a box but i will make a bracket to actually mount it in that position. i think it looks kinda nice there. if anyone was wondering it's a JL 300 watt 4 channel. i will be making a tray like the one for my battery.

actually that fan is from a V8 thunderbird aka lincoln mark VIII fan. it's 18" where as the taurus fan is 16". the t-bird fan flows a lil more and covers the radiator core better. it is a bit too tall but it still fit's between the water necks.

i have a defi BF boost on my steering column, and water temp, oil pressure, and oil temp all greddy 52mm. the new greddy's are the only ones that match the stock interior nicely, i didn't like all the flashy other brands.
