***Sad News - I got in a minor accident, so the car is in the shop getting fixed. Good news is that it will look better than before since I'm repainting part of the car to touch up some flaws, painting the engine compartment, installing a new all-aluminum Be Cool radiator, and replacing the front grill. New pics of the car will be up after the repair is over***

***I finally have all the parts to fix the car. Here's what it looks like right now.***

Here's an older image of the engine compartment. Since this photo I have installed the A/C compressor and cleaned up the compartment a little more. I still have a little more work, and will post a new photo as soon as I have finished it.
