No, this one is a more or less stock 12a. The turbo FB is all black, and no sunroof. That one is almost done, just a few more weeks I hope....

Thanks Dave, not bad for flux cored welding wire, and a amateur at the controls.. haha.
Yeah, I used por15 to coat any bare metal, and any little spots of rust I couldn't remove using the grinder. For the Black car I'm building now I ended up sandblasting the whole underside, and coating it with por15. Took a while, but the underside definatly came out a lot cleaner than it did on this car...
Either way its still solid and a blast to drive (for a stock 12a)
