Spartan GL's Build Thread: (09-21-14) New photos!

Re: Spartan GL's GTP Showcar Updated (06/6/2011) PG 7 for parts photo!

does it come with a torque converter? of your requested stall speed? and is there any warranty? i know in most cases where parts are knowingly going to be abused they is no warranty.

sounds like a good deal tho. cant wait to hear how it works.

does he have a web site? or other way to contact him? or all word of mouth type stuff. i cant find much on him, just his name in a lot of posts all over the web. lol

Who know's maybe I'll drop by and come sabotage the whole rebuilding operation!

Ditto

edit:
Better yet I'll come and put the parts in a car so they don't go bad from sitting around so long.

Glad to hear your good news about leaving that hell hole. That transaxle price sounds damn good, I'll have to keep him in mind when my stocker blows up.
