Re: Engine Cover

That looks fantastic. Love to see someone actually put some thought into the engine rather than a worn out 305.


Been seriously thinking about putting the GTA KR nose on my TTA.

Re: Engine Cover

That's a good looking Baywatch...I mean engine bay.
If you said Jump in My Car, I'd Limbo Dance and then I'd be Hooked on a Feeling. Of course it would be Our First Night Together so I'd hang my head out and scream Freedom for the World!! All the Hoffing around aside, that fab work could land you on America's Got Talent...ok, that's the last one.

Re: Engine Cover

Hilarious !

Anywhoo... for those who don't know, that is a turbo manifold setup from an 81 / 2nd Gen Pontiac Trans Am Turbo... I've been watching this build over the last couple years.... by far, One of the nicest I've seen and for sure in the KR community...

Shoot as clean as it looks and the obvious love he's put into this car it's one of the nicest third gens all togther I've seen. I wouldn't limit him to the KR group. I've seen some pretty ragged KR's...

The car is super clean and is one of the nicest cars I have ever seen underneath the KR build. Look close at how smooth the inner fenders, firewall, and other under hood surfaces are.

Re: Engine Cover

Very nice! The lighting is a great touch. Can tell you spent some serious time and effort in it.

Re: Engine Cover

Very nice job on that. Definately better than just leaving it bare.

I thought it was funny when you could catch a glimpse of the engine bay in a shot and it was obviously a crossfire engine in the car.
