Very nice build, you did it a lot faster than I did! One question, could you get a picture of your trans mount? Looks like you have way more ground clearance than I do, would like to see how it is set up and how the exhaust runs, thanks!
As for the gas gauge, did you swap the tank also? or is it stock thirdgen? If it's stock, the best way might be to swap in a 4th gen tank/pump sender, then it will work as intended with your 4th gen gauges. The resistance is different (~0-90 ohm for thirdgens, ~40-130 ohms for the 4th gens, I think) in the sender, so the gauge is looking for different values for full and empty.

Any chance of a couple of pics from the side with the new wheels?
Are they the stock springs?

The projectors were made by 841le. No link to the gauge install, I have a diagram I made that would apply to 90-92 cars. Gas gauge works, was a bad ground. Its a hawks x member ill try to get better pics of exhaust routing and side shots of the wheels. Springs are canuck motorsports v6'rs in the front and prokit in the back, no isolaters all around.

Damn those wheels look aggressive what are the specs?
I was fortunate enough to get a non traction control equipped ss. I bent the gas pedal a little and riveted a washer to mount it through the firewall. Kinda ghetto but it works and blends in.
