Posted by Jeff92se (92se) on July 21, 2003 at 18:42:43: In Reply to: the board is a little slow so here are some new pics...nothing exciting but just the latest... posted by awsm66 on July 21, 2003 at 16:46:35: my low miler VE engine's intake manifold looked like that. I believe the previous owner stored it outside(not Johnnymax) but the original owner. Gonna be a paint to clean the aluminum parts up again. : I put my hood back on and got new hood struts from advance auto-direct replacement 21.95 each...paid for them yesterday and got them today. No more hood falling on my head and causing me to cut my forehead on the fender (part under the fender actually) : I am still missing 2 stickers(air cond. and oil recomendation) but will pick them up this week. The hood was a replacement and didnt have any stickers on it : I havent painted the bolts but I am taking the bolts I got off of the parts car and painting them to put under the hood and in the fenders : here is a pic of the hood and fenders painted and on...well the inner part of the fender is painted...the outer is primed with epoxy primer : : Yes I am very upset that I put the airbag sticker on a little crooked but am not as upset as I was when I first did it...maybe most people will not notice it. : here is close up of the Nismo sticker-plaque I put on my FSTB. I know its not a Nismo bar but it looks so much better than the Otto emblem : : I realize I am being a little picky in having to have all the stickers and everything just right but I am an attention to detail kind of person and also a perfectionist...I think its more of an illness than anything. : Anyway enjoy and sorry if its not too interesting but give me a few more weeks for some better stuff. :) Replys: yeah the hood has been off but I am not using that intake anyway... awsm66 (93SE) 18:47:50 7/21/2003 (0)
