Seems clean. Needs a good wash.

So what are your plans? All you have listed is what is already done.

i used to have a bunch of pics from autox and the old pic of the car. but my old computer has crashed. and i just got the camera.

i never really was into documenting it. but being that i have a job in the marine corps that doesnt move around as much as before i have more time to work on it and document it.

yes i plan to build it, going to paint it champ white. strip motor interior and paint the whole car

anyone got ideas for other paint colors? want to do something simple and not to bling bling

I'm using ACL - always heard good things.

What are your power goals?
What compression?
What brand turbo/size?
Head work?

its been installed for a while. used to used it back for messing with a/f ratios on b16's and gsr's, the car has been through about 7 motors(not because they were blown) and then when i was being cheap i used it to turbo on a street tune it. it works, just not as reliable.
