Long time lurker first time poster.
I bought this car off a buddy with the intentions of swapping my fwd motor in it and calling it a day.
then I found a motor for cheap, then I found a good deal on a big 16g turbo which in turn put me on the look out for injectors, pump etc etc.
so a few grand of parts and the car still wasn't looking any differant and certainly wasn't moving.
But I made small amounts of progress working a hour a night in my garage which is directly under my little girls bed room, wrenching in absolute fear of waking up a toddler makes for slow progress but I got the motor in and on the first turn it fired right up
2 problems, car would idle surge at 2k-2.5k and the clutch wouldnt engage.
I realised that it wasn't coming out to play in the snow so it became a full on winter project.
I had a few sets of wheels kicking around but I want to try something really different, dsms especially 1gs tend to be stock or quarter mile monsters but I am going for some aggressive style and will aim for 300ish hp nothing crazy.
so I just bought some fender flares and some american racing wheels off a jeep.
The car was allways going satin tan and now with black fenders it should look pretty mean.
Anyways this will go slow as I work alot of hours and interest has been lacking lately. (Was one of the reasons for making this thread, inject some life in to the project).
Heres a few random pics and some of my inspiration the rest of the build pics will be more organised.
