Well the time has come to make it official!

I will periodically update parts as to be honest i'm sure there are some parts missing or in the mail :). Also I know some of you offered to help out on the build with small things here and there. I would love nothing more and if you want to help; please let me know in advance. I will post w/e i'll be at the garage (watertown) working on her. Free food, drinks, smokes etc to anyone who comes.

Enter the DIY low budget garage. This is what $300 in materials* gets you......and it's legally a "temporary" building in my town so no building permit and nobody to care that I've become even more nonconforming with the lot coverage reg's in my zoning :D.



*some assembly required

Car is going to be nasty. That exhaust is sick.

My IPD End Links failed after 6 months and IPD never replied to my emails to get them replaced so I went with MOOG from Amazon.

Pfftt, everything I did to my R has a purpose, lol. ;)

I'm at least glad to see Omar is taking the serious route of building up his motor, even if I have to laugh at a few of the choices like braces for pieces of the car that don't flex, but they are great at rusting and hitting things, lol. :p
