Have you guy's done anything to your engine to make it look better? If you did please post some pictures so we can see what you've done.

I'll start with mine. It's not much for now but with time it will look alot better.

My old 1978-






The humble beginings of my next C3...

As you can see, it is still in the "fuel management" stage as I am porting the plenum, runners, and base manifold. Infact, I don't even have the ACTUAL car yet. I just have an EFI system looking for an engine!

I did, new air cleaner, plugs, plug wires, distributer, Hooker headers/sidepipes, alternator, starter, completely repainter whole engine, valve covers, and anything else you can see has either been painted or replaced with new. Twin Turbo, if you dont mind me asking, where did you get that engine, and how much did it cost, that thing is NICE! My engine,

Daniel
