Way to bring her back from the dead. The paint work looks great. I'm getting ready to paint mine as well. You gonna do anything else besides new wheels? IMO stock body lines don't do 20b's justice (especially with the kind of power your making).

I wanted the Shineauto Burnout kit. Budget it tight right now, so I just added the rear flares. I can paint and add the rest when the time comes.
Upgrading the diff & axles is priority now.

I should have it on the road soon.
I picked up a set of PF01's and new drag radials.
I just need to paint the rims Gunmetal or maybe Bronze.
I also should have the ford 8.8 swap in by the end of summer.
Now I have a little bird chirping in my ear to sell him my turbo and buy a GT47.

A quick update.
New Turbo GT4718 and 8.8 irs stuff on the way.
Rims are painted, and working on paperwork for the DOT.
I should be on the road within a month.

Time for another update
New turbo is here a GT4718 88mm, rims are painted and new tires mounted. I went with 335 / 30/ 18 nitto drag radials.
I am still waiting on parts to finish the 8.8 conversion and the materials to make my new manifold.
I hape to have it on the road with in a month.
Then this winter will be interior stuff and maybe brakes.

Thanks guys, it has been a slow process rebuilding it.
The turbo is a monster, it weighs 58lbs. and was bigger than expected. I almost went with a Forced Induction FI-88X. My buddy has a EZ-94x on his Camaro and he loves it, but he also has 400 cubes.
Still need to get the axle shafts from the Driveshaft Shop. The 8.8 diff is ready to go with all fresh parts. I went with 4.10 gear, but may end up switching to 3.73's.
I should have enough injector for 1000rwhp. I was at 70-71% duty cycle on my 810 run. I do hope the 3 fuel pumps are enough.
I really just want to drive it again. It will be a year in Oct. sense the accident.
I may get the racelogic traction control. Ken's white FD(LUV94RX7) in the background has one and it works well.

I am running 2 bosch 044's, and a Apex-I BNCR33 all intank.
Wheels are 18x10.5 +38mm offset with the Burnout flares. Tires stick out about 2-3mm past the flare.
