[merl]

These pics really do not do the bumper justice ... the metallic in it is just great ... It's not perfect but falls well within our 85% rule for this car.

I know how much you guys like pictures ....

Engine assembly will start late this week or early next week so I will be sure to take a bunch of pictures.

Engine assembly, how lovely. I muscled all my motor stuff in and out myself. Lift would be 10x nicer no lie.
