Looks like the handles were already shaved in the first pic. It does look good though. Nice seats too, looks like FD seats?

sweetness

tight car man, looks like i have a lotta work to do to get even close to catching up with you on your restore.

heres me addy, mrxb12r@hotmail.com any info you think i might need on the 13b swap please let me know. i.e what are you useing for engine managment? what size injectors and ignition. firing angles?

Did that car come with right side steering?

I'm new to the rotor world but i been a wrench for a long time. any info is nice.

I'd like to now what wheels and where you got the seats to... were they a bitch to install?

keep us posted on your meabn machine m8. l8
