Great read, goes to show that this is about so much more than just the car itself!

Always been a fan, since the PT days. You still have the red car? Love it.

Thanks guys, got a few videos last night. Nothing crazy just some footage of the car in it's current state.

I have collected everything for a manual trans and as soon as I clear a few projects from my garage i'll get it done.

We plan to take the car to h2o weekend with the swap complete and really have some fun!

Videos soon, need to dial a few things in better.

Power isn't as much as you'd expect right now, but once its ready for a dyno I'll let you know!

Thanks everyone!

I'm glad the car is "complete" but I can't wait to make changes to make it more fun to drive.
