I wanted to do an intro/build thread as my first post here. I am a mechanical engineer working in building automation controls by day, and run a part-time business called Urban Legends Motorsport by night, with a friend, and operate out of a 3-bay storage unit until we can afford a legitimate space (hence the name MoonlitMechanic). I'm going to start by showing you guys my B2600i, then show you some of my past projects to give you look at my work (the only cars I still currently have are my B2600i and the 94 RX-7). Ive recently sold my latest project car, my 1977 Datsun 280z, because it took every cent I have and I need to get my money back on track. So instead, I've decided once it sells, I'm going to do the B up the way I always wanted knowing it wont cost me much to complete this project. This truck started life as just our shop's beater/spare car/parts hauler, but I've decided to make this my primary car and give it the look I always knew it could have. The pictures and mod list I'm posting are from a few weeks ago, will be posting my updates in a later post, so this will be my starting point for the build thread.

Before that, I had a 1983 BMW 733i 5-Speed (I bought from member apexilude, it's now owned by a good friend of mine, The Carter, here is his build thread: My Latest work. '83 E23):
2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4:
1997 Honda Prelude SH:
2005 Subaru Legacy GT (Probably my favorite car I've owned):
1996 Honda Civic LX (Mini-Me VTEC Swap)
1987 Toyota 4x4 (My first truck):
2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT (My first car and project, too much to list, lets just say 100 shot of nitrous and every bolt-on possible):
And last but not least, my dad's car, the one that started it all....
1994 Mazda RX-7 TT (Street Ported, built motor, 15 psi on stock twins and every bolt-on possible; in the process of getting it back running again, damn rotaries lol):
