Finally trying to get back into photography, so went and took some pics of my car

those tail lights are pretty sweet - Good build dude, in to see where you take this especially since I enjoy the fact that you have 'spares' for what seems like everything.

Perfect thread. In for more.

Love it! I want more if this. And I want it NOW

Since no one has asked yet, what the hell is that cam out of that you're using as a hood prop?

[ELLeon]

Great build, love those tails.

[Aitch]

Loving this so far. IMO I'd be perfectly happy seeing this stay stock-bodied too Polished Works, white body, and a ducktail and diffuser? Perfect.

Those rear tail lights nicely modernize it without being overdone.

Lol it's two 4g63 cams welded together by a friend of mine

Great build, love those tails.

Thank you

Yeah I keep going back and forth on the widebody. I love the look of widebody, but I am really happy with how the car looks right now with the fitment and stance. I think I may go with a wider tire setup with some slightly modified fenders, but not widebody for the time being

Looks great. Those tails look really cool.

I really hope you keep the rotary engine in it.

I think it looks awesome as is! A proper paint job would be best but looks great for being in project mode. I love those gauges! What is that loom you used? Where'd you get it? I used something similar for my FC but yours looks like it's heavier duty

this is everything I like in a build thread. good job.

Somehow it is very satisfying to see people tackling down other peoples' misery. And you did just fine sir. It came out great!

[Queef|Chief]

good job bringing this beast back to the road! also the gauges and tails really do look awesome

As of now I am leaning towards the ls1. It works out better for my current situation, aka my wife and I are trying to have a child and I don't want to do extensive work to it for the first year or so after it is born. With the rotary I know I will want to change the setup or some other thing. LS1 I will throw in, make 420whp and call it a day. Focus on easy stuff like body work and interior after that. Powertrain is the one hurdle I want taken care of before having a kid, but every time my car is done I try to fix it asap because I want to get back to driving it. Won't be able to spend all of my time working on it when I need to spend time with my child instead. Phew, long explanation lol

Oh it is definitely still in project mode, everything I did was just enough to get it running before winter hit here in Minot. I plan to take it all back apart this winter to finish the interior, redo the wiring for the ls1, and at least get the body smoothed out and ready for a paint job sometime. Oh, and the ls1 swap

Thank ya

Haha it sucks at times, but I did the same thing with my dsm, just not to this extent. This was the first car I had ever rewired so I spent a lot of time researching everything. Still have a lot to finish as well

good job bringing this beast back to the road! also the gauges and tails really do look awesome

Thank you
