That picture is already outdated. Considering my engine bay is completely put back together.
But what is that shine coming from my intake manifold you ask?
Oh no that was not just the flash from my camera, or the glare from the sun! No no no!
That is what happens when you take an electric wire brush to your intake manifold my friends.
Put your 's on!

Oh yeah...
Racer: You can see the "bolt cutter fuel rail mod" in that pic.
It's just moving the wires for the fuel rail. Nicknamed it the bolt cutter mod because bolt cutters were used on that little piece between the metal fuel lines to move the wires to the other side.

Hmm.. Upon return from this "wonderful" Iraqi desert next spring:
Buy/Install better rods
Buy/Install AEB Head
Buy/Install GT3076R and necessary equipment
I guess I could just say full engine build with all "bells and whistles" including Engine Management (any good E.M. Tuners in North Alabama?)
Fix the Wind Deflector (back glass) motor
Figure out the rattle around 2.5k-3k rpm (glad to see I'm not the only one)
Purchase nice wheels and tires (Yay for Ebay: 18 Drag Dr-9 Black w/polish lip and Nankang tires..tread looked good)
Brake upgrade
Suspension upgrade (coilovers, sway bars, etc)
Look into a lambo door kit (knock it all you like.. I think it looks pretty neat)
That'll keep me busy for a good while at least until my next deployment.

The vac hoses are expensive as hell though! I easily spent over $300 on vac hoses alone, but it had to be done.
