    Well, the header never had oil on it... It just started to change color on its own.

    but Ben... your car was always red. and always had a 99-00 front. i mean... work can be done fast but the day and night difference is just a tad too remarkable.

    LOL it wasnt a day and nights work. I had the car for a year now and spent that much time buying parts for it and storing up to do all at once. The car was originally bone and i meant BONE STOCK. In about the end of february or beginning of march i started by getting the front end installed by i4 garage down in hapeville, i believe. After that, i got into installing my suspension and then just got done with the engine bay and swap about 3 days ago. A nicely built car doesnt just pop up over night. It takes ALOT of work and dedication to actually build one yourself instead of taking it to a shop and having them do it. I will post the pics that i do have tomorrow
