I'm going with the original R CW' & doing a complete Spoon look! My buddy happens to be one of SoCal's major Spoon distributors. & I already got most of Spoon's dc2 parts. Just haven't posted pics of those lol! Paint will be done sometime in a few weeks & motor will go to my uncles machin shop too.

Re: SoCal-The X Files"Dc2 Restoration" (Numba1 B Series)
My buddy & I picked this up planning it to be a drag car but I got rid of mine & deciced to build it as my DD so I pretty much paid $80 for the car, $50 on gas, plus another $60 for the trailer. So thats how much I paid for this thing! Once its done, my estimate spending on this restoration was about $3k. & being a 00' GSR I still make a profit of it if I decide to sell but I know I won't.
