The swap is almost done! Everything except wiring is done which SHOULD be done either tomorrow or friday so keeping my hopes up on that. BBK should be in by Monday and so should the Bisimoto Level1 turbo grind cam. On the bright side, here is a little preview of the front...

making the fogs fit wasn't a big deal but the challenge is to make the whole bumper cover and fogs fit with the firewall and intercooler piping right where the fog light housing is...eh we'll see what happens in about a week or two.

some more sneak peak of the swap, rims and engine bay..my goal is to get it set for a photo shoot by the 14th. Everything is going according to plan except the ECU i got with the manual trany was bad (hopefully) since it wont let the car start. I can get the car running with the auto trany but then the speedometer doesn't work but other than that, the swap is all done.
my new mercedes shift knob heh

PS: pix were quick snaps from my phone so don't mind the crapiness

ok so the swap is done! car is running mint! can't go more than 5K cuz running out of fuel but as of right now, 230whp at 6psi @5k.
RC440 injectors, cam, bbk, will all follow in soon as the car gets out of the body shop.
