Thanks Luca! Project candy cane is complete just in time for crimu.
Enjoy! Jonah will have it soon
Before you guys point out that I forgot to put the fuel rail and injectors in. I didnt have a spare SVT LIM so Jonah is going to put his in and send me my core back.

Thanks ilive4sports
and once it gets here it will be getting installed asap, sams finding a shipping company now though, so soon.
On another note, i took my stock suspension out today to install the koni/gc's
as i was taking the tie rod off, the stock spring BROKE maybe 2 coils from the top, shot the strut down and coiled all the way up into the tower, right past the strut mount :shocked:
wasnt very fun, and took forever to take out after that happened, but its out now and i will be installing tomorrow, probably only fronts though

the uim looks great, but not feeling the white valve covers...maybe because I'm not diggin' the candy cane look...:shrug: although it might look better in person...are you doing any other colors in the engine bay and will you be powdercoating/painting anything else?

Im not sure what else will be powdercoated, but the white is because of the color scheme of the car, everyone will see soon enough :laugh: its going to look great.
