woop woop! good luck. nice parts pile man!

lucky you, you dont have to put the headers on with the motor in the car..... (doing that myself right now, tis crazy!)
 
Lookin good! I had a very similar layout with all my stuff a few months ago and slowly the pile went down. It feels good to have it all put together. Good luck!
 
Nice, thats what my parts pile was supposed to look like at this point... but it doesnt.
 
That's quite a parts pile and a very very very sweet lookin SVT. My garage looks similar except it's all bigger stuff...and I'm waiting on heads. I hope your project goes as quickly as planned. I always seem to hit little snags in mine. Good luck!
