I've been laying low for the past few months and keeping my build under wraps, but decided to make a thread to keep me motivated. The goal is to have the car ready for the Import Alliance meet in July. There's a lot to do and not a lot of time, but I'll try my best!

Here's how most probably remember the car (Late Summer/Fall 2007)











With a little over 30,000 on the chassis, she was torn down again (Winter 07/Early 08). The Work Equips were sold and an order was placed with Mackin Industries. I've been waiting about 5 months right now for the wheels, hope they're here in time for the meet!

First order of business was to get the engine bay resprayed. The bay was completely stripped down, the subframe was dropped, and it was shot a fresh coat of Frost White using PPG base & clear. A few of the unused firewall studs were removed as well.
