Just a build about a beater z32 turned drifter missile
This has been a very long term project and has been through more phases than I care to explain but I will do my best with the photos of past progress, I will also just go ahead and apologize for the quality of the photos but I recently have acquired a fancy new cam that should take this build from ashy to moderately classy.

I bought it in 2006 as a pretty much decent condition stock N/A automatic and I liked it for a little while but it decided to blow up one day after a bad ass burnout, I feel like that is a necessary process to missilefacation. So these photos are a couple years after she blew and after the twin turbo swap, 5 speed swap, coils, Garson 19in wide wheel racing wheels.
Did some roll cage action nothing to crazy, yet
