    Default Finally picked-up my FD project car...

    I needed to get her out of her hiding place before the new landlord got her towed off, so my friend told me to take it. I am excited, and can't wait to start the tear down and get the car stripped to a bare shell and hit the frame shop. going to be a fun project and a lengthy one (unless I win some money!). I will get more pics once i get the interior cleaned out and pressure wash the car.


    Don't know what my plans are yet exactly, but i know it will be nothing like a stock one when I get it running.

    Yeah, the good thing is, is that most of the parts will be ripped-off and the car will be as light as possible with only performance, and good exterior looks in mind. I want it to be for auto-x, trackdays, time attacks, and maybe some drifting. I am hoping to have it running in a few years.

    You probably need to talk to me. I have a few spare parts around here (even engines). I have a few things that need to be done to my FD. Maybe we can work something out.
