been sitting in that same parking spot since July 07 cause my fuel pump went out. didnt feel like messin with it so i went ahead and bought another car to get me back and forth to work. Im sure other problems will pop up cause of it sitting so long but its worth a try to put humpty dumpty back together again.. probably gonna continue to do my fully built t3/t4 turbo..add a few other gadgets, paint it flat black and call it a day. HOPING to have her done by march 09..wish me luck!

LOL...paint the car first. On second thought, dont paint it. Put the lambo doors on it and a couple of stickers and call it a day!

lol..yea i should throw a big tribal decal straight down the side! jk...the engine is going to be the last thing worked on. being that i sold EVERYTHING that i needed to do the build..i have to start back from scratch again. Not to mention that i never picked up my bored out block and head from the machine shop...which by now is probably scrapped or been sold. 1st things first im gonna get it running- which i know needs a fuel pump, and im going to go ahead and change out the battery, starter and alternator, and change the belts and hoses, oil change and do a brake and radiator flush. probably wont start on the engine til after Christmas.

1 of the bolts that hold the black bracket that the shock mouts to at the top is bent, and i had to chop down 1 of the bottom mounts that goes to the drivers side door...so now it is a strictly weld on bracket anyways...but the passenger bracket is in the same condition as when i bought them from you....
