Just through i would post a new thread to re-inspire myself to finish a few big projects on the probe, in the last 9 years its gone through a engine conversion, interior conversion, headlight conversion, respray (including shaved door locks/antenna/badges), then a rebuild, medium weight reduction and of course many, many modifications along the way. heres just a few pics of its journey:

how the current daily and weekender sit:



early pic, just clear corners and mags IIRC at this stage (note euro headlights + ford badge):

during interior conversion:



my voltmeter (with launch control buttons!):



after the respray:



my custom perspex sunroof (lets see this thing rust!):



before the rebuild (i know you dont need to say it, the light blue was meant to be an undercoat!):
http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm28 ... C00005.jpg

after the rebuild (much better) but you cant see the ported heads, interprep springs or wrapped headers here:



big brake conversion (mazdaspeed 6 calipers, 320mm DBA slotted rotors):



and below are the things that are still going on........ slowly

weight reduction (AC and rear seats/interior):





quad projector headlights (one bracket almost done):

SC kit (a long way to go, mounting in AC location now):

Which supercharger is that? It looks like an Eaton M45, but that would be a bit small on the KLZE. M62?
