nah i just got back from the shop, partially my fault they couldnt finsih, i had bolts and spacers for tein tie rods, and battery box,whooops forgot to leavet he stuff there lasttime... man it looks and sounds killerr

They did a decent amount of tucking of the harness,and wiring, looks 1000 times cleaner than my old swap... everythinngs working , all they have left is o2.and there still fixing my nasty harness. but almost there, im soo eager but dont mind waiting cuz i know itll be done right..

Took my pops up to the shop with me, and he loves there work also. talking about building himself a 2fizzle... thatd be soo awesome... soo hopefully tomorrow. there finsihings up late tongith and as long as they dont run into any more harness problems ill be set...
