Out









Time to get out in the cold to make it to the fab shop















Fast forward and we are here



Time to go to bed now

[ELLeon]

I have not done much on the car for a while. As you can see it has been buried for the holidays.





Some awesome goodies, I love their stuff

















Fab work car prep



Prep involves making room to finally fit these



Our cars have lots of extras





Gotta let go the boombastic sound for street/race car transformation



Garage is a mess again

[ELLeon]

I haven't done much, I have been getting ready for Xmas and things have been slow. I had time to remove the engine and clean up the garage a bit. Sorry for the almost non existent update. But here it goes, I update my Instagram page faster so to some these pics will be old.

I havent made much more updates, I am getting a home so planning for that. I need more space to park all my vehicles. However, the car has work planned for it. I have one new sponsorship for which I am pretty excited about, roll cage, bags going in, while I still decide on color, and cage color to match the whole theme of the car. Finally I will put them 19x13 in the rear and give the boat some wide hips look. I am not sure if I will need to request the help of some S9 over fenders, we will see once we get there. Look for updates in the following months.

After all that the car will be sent back to me for some well needed engine work, with the help of some japan goodies for the engine and of course install. R154 hasnt sold so I might just throw it on until the V160 is purchased.

So I started to prep the car for the engine removal, so since I had to remove the automatic shifter and I wanted to remove the foot emergency brake I decide is time to swap the black interior too. So with the help of my mini helper we got to work.

The rear of the car is up on Jack stands right now, I just need to remove disconnect the midpipe from the downpipe, remove "one" cable hopefully is just one more. Unbolt the driveshaft, remove the gear center console, unbolt the transmission from the body of the car and unbolt the engine mount bolts and she is ready to be pulled.

I have started what will be the beginning of a hole in my pocket.
