hello all, sold the fd, going fb now!

Hello all, I just wanted to introduce myself. I had an FD, sold it, and now am thinking about doing a 1st gen. I will chime in from time to time, gonna start doing my homework. My goal is to build a 12 second 1st gen, streetable. high 12 would be fine, but right now I am more concerned about the looks. C-Ya

Welcome. I started off buying a first gen as my "other" car to my FD. I have since decided to sell my FD (probably this spring) and am building the first gen as a killer daily driver. First Gens kick ***!

Hmmm sold your FD? I don't know what to say....?

But anyhow, congrats on going first gen. If I had the money from a sold FD I think I could put together a righteous 1st gen! How much is your budget at?
