Getting back into the game

After letting my car sit in the garage for 1 1/2 years without a engine it's coming back together! I made a good LSD out of two bad ones last weekend, got my turbo rebuilt and today ordered another 13b-re jspec (fingers crossed)! Once it arrives it shouldn't take long to be ready for spring. Can't wait..

Here are a couple pics of what it used to look like:

I like the color. It almost looks like my Ruby Red 87 Riviera. Keep us updated with progress pics, too many newbs ask if an REW can be installed in a 1st gen, show them how it's done.

Only reason is because I don't have anything better.

Been a while! I suppose you've had a few different ones sine I've been on here last?
