Project update pics: Del Sol Turbo Type R

Well since the preview post option completly lost my first attempt at this post I guess I will try again (I HATE COMPUTERS) anyway..................
This is the project I currently have on my table, I am buiilding this one for a customer to his specs exactly, including motor swap (or should I just say install) Turbo, intercooler, wings west body kit and wing, Kaminari hood, Sparco milano seats, nos bottle, stereo system and converting the RH dash to left hand drive (pain in the ass). Here are the most current pics, most of the work now is going into making the turbo and engine bay fit together well, I am trying to make the engine bay look more like a civic than the integra it came out of. let me know what you think?

I made the hood out of scrap plastic and putty, same with the nos bottle, I just need thick enough tubes of styrene to make the bottles.
as far as my "Customers" I have people hitting me up to build models for them to their specs, they find my website and then contact from there, pretty cool set-up I think.
