Hey guys ive been on this forum for sometime now and ive decided to make my first ever build thread so i can show every1 my progress on this awesome Itr. This thing has a pretty cool history behind it most of you people have probably seen this ITR and know the history behind it the thing has been on this forum since the late 90"s and thru so many hands on this forum im sure a few of you have owned this thing long story short it was stolen a few years back, the person that stole the car did a complete vin swap and installed a H22 in it for some odd reason Now its in my hands ready for a K and a complete makeover. Here are some pics and i hope you guys will enjoy my journey
