Picture book....
I had the stock X-11 Aluminum wheels powder coated gloss black, it was loads cheaper than painting & much more durable.
This is how my X looked before I started working on the V-8 swap.
My lil' 2.8L drivers side.
My lil' 2.8L passengers side.
My X after swap is done & she's had a bath & a coat of wax. My buddy's Mustang is whimpering !! Hee hee
Front end view after wax, with the sun setting the hood looks very smooth.
I crouched down to take this photo to illustrate the cooling fans and the front exhaust pipe dropping down, none of which are very obvious while standing looking at the car.
Very nice.... definitely looks like the V-8 belongs there !!!
More pics to come....
