jus when i thought it was over, it's not over yet... ABUNAI Racing's DC rebuild
FYI~this is gonna be a longgg rebuild. i like taking my time ensuring that things come out jus the way i want it. my style. no rushing here. plus, i also have a lot on my plate right now (work, getting married in feb., house remodeling, and more **** including this rebuild). but, i will do my best to finish this up and get it on the 1320 by early or mid next year.
i was fortunate enough to run across an awsome deal on a K20r swap that i couldn't pass up on courtesy of jarel, thanks bro...i will make u proud.
being that i like doing everythng right the first time, i decided to also clean up my messy bay with some GOLD here and there 
and tuck the **** out of it while i was doing the swap. and aside from the engine compartment, i will also be prepping Daisy with Project Mandy's left over custom race parts. 
and on with the show...
SPECIAL THANKS TO:
ABUNAI Racing crew; SPECS & FRODO,
Jarel, Marvin the martian, Junior.
Tru Wheel Sandra (818) 765-5577 for all my custom wheels & repair
Luky's Hardware (818) 845-8338 for all my AN fittings and supplies
Stick-it Graphics (818) 341-1463 for all my vinyl sticker needs
Camp1320 motorsports (818) 718-9352 for all my race needs!!
Innovative Mounts (714) 524-5246 the best damn mounts in the business
hybrid-racing.com (225) 932-9588 for all ur K series needs!

woo hoo...one step closer. i placed my order today w/ hybrid-racing.com for their mounts, fuel rail, harness, BOLT IN shift box...yes i said bolt in!!!! and their limited edition shiftknob.
for more info about their BOLT IN shifter box http://www.hybrid-racing.com/store/i...t-shifter.html
since tearing apart the engine compartment, i pretty much jus threw everything i took off all over the garage. as messy as the garage was, my OCD won't let me work in those conditions so i spent the last 2 days cleaning it up and organizing the **** better. i haven't worked on the car since the last update but i did clean and organize the garage better
more updates to come this week.
