Well I'm not going to update you guys with everything because my camera died, but I have still have some good stuff for you guys.
I had to pull the heads back off to lap the valves in. that sucked...
but I got the valves all sealed up. got the heads back on, got the headers back on, dipsticks in, intake and throttle body on, rails and injectors in. wiring done, and most of the front end done with.
my coils didn't fit so I took a grinder and a welder to the brackets and they fit great now. these will fit over the injectors between the rails and the valve covers. i'll be cleaning them up tomorrow before they are put on.
also cleaned up and brushed my abs unit.
like I said I have some more, i'll update more when I get some time between work and school. this thing would be done if it were not for school...

small update for you guys, was busy with house stuff most the weekend, but I got some stuff done and inching closer to being done.
coil brackets on and wired, still need to grab some spark plug wires.
got my bed on and the filler neck fabbed up, had some 2 inch exhaust pipe bent up for me, then I welded on the top of the stock filler neck so the cap works, and weled on the small vent hose. Its functional but not done, i'm going to bend up aluminum sheet to make a nice cover for that ugly hole.
I got the core support on but no pics, I need to go make a junkyard run and grab a few things at the parts store, i'll have another update in the next few days.
