Finally got pics taken

I was waiting until I finished my headlights, then I needed a good sunny day.

Still some small bumps and scrapes to fix but its 1000% better than it was last May...

So far I've done:
LIM gaskets
Aluminum coolant elbows
Valve cover gaskets
PCV valve
Plugs and wires
K&N cone filter inside the gutted stock airbox (that took a while to figure out)
Fixed sunroof drains
Pulled interior and fixed floor, re-painted with rubberized undercoating
Re-covered headliner
Re-sealed water shields in all 4 doors
Re-greased steering shaft
New fuel hoses from the firewall to the rail
New vacuum lines
Boat roller mount
GXP sway bar
GXP gas pedal and brake pedal cover
Sanded & cleared headlights
Experimental wet sanding & buffing on the upper door moldings - worked quite well, write up w/ pics coming soon.
New (used) rear door belt moldings
New (used) coil packs and ICM

Transgo shift kit and new fuel filter in the garage waiting to be installed in the next couple weeks. Also going to need brakes soon, and probably shocks & struts too.

Looks great, gotta love the Galaxy Silver. Looks like she'll be going for a very long time given all that you've replaced.

Looking good! The transgo shift kits are nice, I've installed 3 in my cars. Along with a trans tune (Hp Tuners ect) it really made a huge difference how the car acted.
