Re: racecar project

I like these cars, they have been at the top of my list for cars to look at from time to time.

Nice pick up.
 
Re: racecar project

so far i have the rear gutted i picked up a new door and quarter and will start pulling on it this week.

for mods front and rear chassis braces, maybe coilovers? i drove my friends who has just eibach springs and tokico 5 ways.. it rides nice.

ive been eyeing up single turbo kits.
the car needs a subtle trunk lip and front lip for sure.
