Woah! I've been away too long! Can't wait to see where this goes with that wide body kit!

Lmk if you decide to sell those beauty rings, wouldn't mind running them on my winter steelies

[Simply Classy]

To everyone that commented, thanks guys, I'm interested just as much as you all are and I'm building the thing. Can't wait to see how all of this turns out.

Sorted some parts today to see what I had, a bunch of miscellaneous things like a clutch, air filter, fan, a couple of intake manifolds, a steering wheel, valve cover, head-liner, sun visors, too many little bits and pieces for the interior.

^The bottom right of this last picture, there are some of the M-Motorsport/2002 Turbo stripes, came with the car, definitely thinking about using them, very tempted for sure!

Ohhh yeah and these weird looking round taillights... Might as well throw out all reason to make it like the 1975 square taillight car it is; the widebody doesn't help that case, so she's being converted to a Roundie. Adding a little bit more of that classic touch to the car.

I don't have any pictures of a test fit today and sadly I think the car will be put into the trailer tomorrow for the winter. It's going into the trailer because there is a current project in the shop... this thing that my dad and I are building.

But, I may have a final little hoorah tomorrow for you all if I figure out how to get the Americanized bumper off and clamp up the rear widebody.

[Nico]

in for more.

[E90freak]

subbed cant wait to see how this pans out, not even going to ask how rare the widearch kit is haha

[stancefag]

I love vintage race cars, so I love this definitely as well!

[mtbbikelike]

good car, I'll definitely be using this for autocross and if able hopefully someday I can track it,thanks

[99sil-teg]

Always like seeing more '02's can't wait to see where you are going to take it

[Simply Classy]

Thanks! Yeah if the engine still works great I would run with that. I decide to go with the M20 because my engine wasn't running right. Once my car runs and drives I will let you know what I think about the ground control coilovers. So far I like them and the quality is A+ so would suggest running those instead of the Ireland Engineering ones. Will be beautiful once done, even though it already is.

Good to know because I was probably going to go with Ireland's coilovers. But the engine will be rebuilt, just out of sheer rebuilding of the car and whatever else we decide to do to it. Maybe dual Weber Weber carburetors with velocity stacks Hope the thing will come out how I want it, will be interesting; that's for sure!

I just saw your build! You're looking to get 300hp out of that thing, should be awesome to see!

But I have ideas, another month will determine the engine's fate. It's currently the M10 and it runs very well, so I may just leave that in there, only time will tell. As for the suspension, most likely coilovers. I'll definitely be using this for autocross and if able hopefully someday I can track it.

Awesome. Any plans for the motor or suspension?
